1994 Chevy Lumina 6 cyl All Wheel Drive Automatic

hi I just changed the battery in my van. The old one was shot. My question is: the van okay but the guage that tells me how charged the battery starts at the top of the guage and then falls to the middle when the van has been running for a few mins. I didn't turn anything on. Does this mean that there could be a problem with the altenator. Thanks.
