Default 1999-2000 GTX Sea Doo issues

Hello. I just got this from my grandpa not running so please bare with me. Im going off what he told me. This is a 1999 GTX Sea Doo. It was running perfect but starting dieing randomly. After it would die it would crank like the battery was dead. He changed the battery and it ran fine for a few days. Then it did it again. Thought it might be the stator not charging the battery so we hooked up a meter up to it while it runs. It says is charger around 14-15 volts. But after so many hours it would kill a battery. There is a battery deal blinking on the dash board sometimes. Would could this be? My grandpa says that it has to be hooked up to a computer to fix it. Any help is much appreciated!

Ok i asked him to give me exactly what was going on with it. He said that he would run it and after so long the battery would go dead. He said that either 12v or battery would flash on the dashboard while it was running. He put it on a meter and it was charging properly around 14-14.5 and he changed the battery 3 times. Any help is very much appreciated!

Does it have a voltage regulator?

After doing some research it does have a voltage regulator. That seems like a logical choice considering at idel the voltage is normal but when your out riding it its probly not putting out enough juice to the battery to keep it charged. You can run it like this for hours then it finally runs the battery dead. what do you all think? Does it sound like a good risk to buy a regulator?
