Honda has a unique control philosophy for their alternators. The ECU can shut off the alternator at idle when the battery's charged & the electrical loads are low.
Sometimes you'll have to bring the alternator back on-line by turning on the headlights or blower or something. AutoZoned guys don't always know this.
Load-testing the battery would be a good thing to do, too.
