You can install a voltmeter, an ampmeter, or maybe temporarily wire a digital multimeter to the battery. If you are charging properly, you should read about 13.7 volts when under way. Some people prefer the ampmeter which reads net current in/out of the battery - zero is in the middle. When you are charging, the needle should be pointing somewhere in the plus side.
