If you don't have a meter to test the difference in the voltages across the battery terminals with the engine off and when its running at, say, about 2K revs, you can try this as a simple test. After dark, put on your headlights and fan on fast with the engine at slow tick over and then see if the headlights brighten up quite a bit when you increase the revs. This will show that the battery is getting some charge. This test shows easier if you have a dynamo but should work with an alternator too. If there is no increase in brightness you have a no charge problem. If you have a meter you'll already know this.
