Something is using amps. Either a load on the battery side of the ammeter or the battery is not accepting a charge. How is the water level? How old is the battery? Is the battery warm when you get home? Check to see if the ignition or some other load is on the battery side of the junction box. Or, as you say, could be a bad regulator internal to the alternator.

Thanks. I already checked the voltage at running RPM and it all seems fine. If there was a draw on the battery, it wouldn't start after weeks sitting, but it does.
