Okay, that's good. I don't think it's a bad connection issue ... otherwise you'd be experiencing charging problems.
One other thing I thought of ... does the needle return to the center of the meter when everything is turned off?
As
leftybass209 and I discussed earlier, it's normal for the needle to stay near the center when the alternator is meeting the demands of the electrical system and the battery is nearly or fully charged. The needle will only move toward the charge side when the battery is a little low and is accepting a charge from the alternator. So if (for whatever reason) the needle is bent / offset slightly toward the discharge side, it could look like it's indicating some discharge even when things are operating properly. And if that were the case, you'd also see the needle staying off toward the discharge side (instead of centered) when everything is off.
