You're lucky you did not blow your alternator, as well as other electrical components (such as your ECU) when you disconnected your battery. Disconnecting your battery while the car is running is a big NO NO! When you disconnect the battery, the alternator no longer has a load in the circuit, causing havoc to your electrical system. Next time you want to test your alternator, I advise to use a proper tester, such as a VAT40 or Snap-On MicroVAT.
