Unless the problem is the generator or alternator, in which case the same symptoms will appear. Nice try, but no cigar.
That is not entirely correct, you would be correct if reading the charging system voltage on a 12v system.
On my 4wheel 350 bruin it is around 10v and the xl250 1982 is around 8v, to check the generator/stator you need to read AC voltage and after regulator you need to check DC voltage, most people use the headlight check to see if the regulator is working fine, imo get the manual for the correct reading/maintenance procedures or elaborate on the question with the model and year of the vehicle in question.

Where is the location of the voltage regulator on a 2008 dodge ram 1500 truck?
The voltage regulator for the alternator is in the computer. If the voltage regulator in the computer does not work, you can add an external voltage regulator and then your battery will charge normally. Make sure to check the ground on the computer. If the ground is bad on the computer, then the computer will not regulate the voltage to the alternator properly.
