Agreed... check volts with machine off... then with machine on... if volts increase when running, then it's most likely a batt situation. If volts are the same when running or (usually) less (because of draw from the ignition system/accessories) then it's likely you're alternator.

I have always had trouble with my ground wire coming off and my battery going dead, so i added a second ground using electric fence wire. I removed that and now it seems to stay charged.
