What charges the car's battery?
The battery is constantly being charged by the alternator as long as the engine is running. The alternator is driven by a fan belt or serpentine belt and provides a consistent steady flow of direct current of around 14 or 15 volts. The amount of voltage is kept steady even at varying engine revolutions by a voltage regulator.
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.

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.
