"Chances".... There are always chances. What we want is the facts.

The regulator may be good. Try it and see.

Batteries ALWAYS have a risk of failure. Like the regulator, if it is working
OK keep on using it unless you are concerned with being in hostile territory
and unable to start. If it will start the car now, it is still capable of putting
out LOTS of current. As long as your car starts fairly easily you are in good
shape. If you don't have an auto tranny you are even in better shape (push or roll start).

Test - that is how I would do it.

Easier? Depends on whether you can do it without taking the alternator out.
