    Very good question! Yes 100% the rectifier. The A/C being produced by the alternator  is not being changed to DC and is not recharging your battery. The rectifier on the Shadow could be part of the alternator, but often on older models are a separate unit. Not expensive to fix!  Let me know how you get on.
