You are going to have to do some diagnostics.It could just be a faulty battery but you can't trust that assumption.If you have a WSM look to see how to test your Stator and R/R before thinking of renewing the Battery.

If you don't have a Manual it's worth buying one but there's loads of sites on the Internet with general help Stator Checking.

Basically with the engine running and on my 1999 Curvy with a 300w Stator I see 70 volts AC(70Vac) across the pairs of yellow wires @5,000 rpm.

On other versions I'm led to believe you should see 60 Volts AC(60Vac).

You test across 1-2 then 2-3 then 1-3 of the Large Yellow Stator wires but remember there's a lot of electrical power there so be careful.

With my engine running depending on it lights are on or off and revs I see between 14v and 14.5v DC across the battery.

You can buy a Haynes from Halfords or,

PS
It's a shame that so many car,"Auto Stores" have closed as most used to carry a battery,"Load Tester" to check for a dead/damaged battery.

My Oxford 601 charger has a Dead-Battery indicator but I don't have a dead battery to check if this function works.

You can get them around same price from Halfords.
