Stick a cheapo voltmeter ($5-10 on ebay) in there and you're good. Just pop it in when you go for a ride and you have peace of mind knowing that the system works. Of course, when you're not riding I would toss it in your bag. It doesn't draw much, but I never leave mine plugged in.
Ok thanks will definitely do so. What is it exactly that fails? Is it a component of the alternator?
