Your vehicle has a 12 volt system, charging should be approx. 14 volts with engine running. Acceptable range is 12.5-14.5 volts. If charging is above 15 volts (assuming you have a fully charged battery) you might have a bad regulator. A faulty regulator will discharge you battery when the engine is turned off.

Do headlamps in your 2000 blazer get dim after 6 years?
The head lamps should not get dim. Dim light are an indication of low voltage. You should have a volt meter in the instrument panel. If the voltages is not reading about 14V when the engine is running, you have a bad battery or alternator. It should read over 12V with the engine not running and the ignition in the on position. It should not drop below about 9-10 when cranking the engine. If you have low voltage during cranking and normal voltage at other times, you probably need to replace the battery.
