Wow dude you need to take a few lessons in electricity.
One stud on the alternator will have + or 'pos' or similar on it. This one goes direct to the pos terminal of the battery.
the negative one as you can guess goes to earth.
The last and smallest termial goes to the dials. This is what provides 14.4v to them and if that drops off, the battery light comes on.
You could leave the small one off for now if you cant be arsed to wire it up to the dials but you will have the battery light on and obviously wont know if it packs up.
