Default car starts but wants to die out

hey fellas and ladies i have a slight issue reguarding the starting of my ss. its either the battery or the alternator. i figured it was the battery so i went and replaced that yesterday. now, it starts but everytime i let off the gas the voltage dips down to almost red and the rpms go to 400 and it almost dies out. but after a second the rpms will go up to a healthy 750 rpms......and when my foot is on the gas theres no issue. thinks its the alternator let me know your thoughts. thanks

when the rpms go back up to 750 does the voltage go back up as well?
