For those of us with an inverter panel, it is easy to see if the batteries are being charged - 12.8 volts or less on inverter panel = batteries not being charged ; 13.1 to 14.2 volts = batteries being charged.
I also added a volt meter mirror heat switch wiring to monitor the alternator output voltage. If the house batteries are down you can see the BIRD close. The voltage will drop from about 14.1 volts to 13.8 volts
