Default Electrical Issue

My battery died a few days ago and I replaced it with a new one. Here's the problem: After putting the new battery in it doesn't charge. When I drive, the alternator seems to work great, A/C runs and lights work, radio, etc...but it doesn't appear to be charging the battery when I drive. Is there an in line fuse for the charging circuit? It could be a bad battery, too, but I thought I'd get some opinions.

Thanks...

I dont understand how you know its not charging the battery? If the battery isnt charging the alternator isnt charging it

My opinion is its the alternator and it needs to be replaced or rebuilt.
