What charges the car's battery?
The battery is constantly being charged by the alternator as long as the engine is running.

Will a voltage regulator kill a battery?
Two things can happen. 1. the voltage regulator fails so that the alternator doesn't know the battery charge is dropping therefore the battery doesn't get charged. 2. The voltage regulator fails in such a way as to allow the alternator to overcharge the battery which causes the battery to overheat and fail, Sometimes an overcharged battery can explode.
1994 Saturn SW2 Series There is a beeping noise in my center console when the battery is dead. I have suspicion that it may be some type of kill switch draining my battery. The battery is brand new.?
Rather than assume, why not check the alternator? If an alternator is not functioning properly, the battery can only remain fully charged if the alternator replaces the electrical energy that has been used. Test the system to determine if there is an electrical drain, but start with the alternator first.
