I don't own a t595 and I don't have a shop manual for one. This is all pretty generic, and will also apply to your transalp.
Charging system checks- Before you start your bike with the key off, measure the voltage directly across the battery. It should be 12V or so. Start the engine and look at your meter. It should be higher than 12V. Rev the engine up and it should rise to around 13.5V before the regulator kicks in. If the voltage continues to rise and gets above 14/14.5 or so, the regulator is frying the battery. If the voltage never gets much above 12, you're not putting any charge into the battery and draining it.
Battery check-disconect both battery terminals from the bike. Charge the battery overnight on a slow charger. Check the voltage. It should be around 12/12.5V. Let the battery sit for a day or two and recheck the voltage. If it's way down, the battery is gone.
