If you want to know if the system is charging or not there two ways to test it. Start the engine and remove the positive battery cable, if it dies then the alternator or voltage regulator is not charging. The other way is to test the battery voltage with the engine off then start it up and test it again if your voltage goes up then your charging. I agree if your using the factory charging system chances are it's the voltage regulator.
