Just an update to this post
As of right now, it was indeed the battery that was dead.
I pulled the old battery and half the cells were only half full of battery acid (or whatever they're calling it now). I jumped it off an old car battery and it ran just fine. 3 volts were being returned to the battery.
I had to go to my dealer to get a new battery, and I hit walmart and got a battery tender. Charged the battery up, installed it, and she started up better than I ever remember.
It looks as though the charging system is fine and it was just an old battery that was causing my headaches.
Thanks for the advice everyone.
