You can fry the alternator by overloading it like that, Instead try dissconnecting the regulator, that why you'll compare charging to not charging. It takes 30 seconds for the alternator field to build up a charge, then you'll put a load on the belt, it'll usually go away in a few minutes when the belt gets hot and sticky. Sounds like time to tighten your belt.
