I hate to admit this, but in my youth I discovered the functional relationship between a loose fan belt and the health of the charging system. Much later in life I noticed another one of my cars was not charging, so the first thing I checked was the fan belt . . . and don't you know that one was loose also. However in that case the real culprit was the water pump bearing had gone bad and that small amount of movement loosened the belt. The deluge of coolant followed the next day.

The point Fred is to check all of the aforementioned electrical system checks but don't forget the mechanical side of the system.
