No, the needle should be to the right of center when running if your alternator is charging properly. Turn on the fans and it will drop to the left suddenly then return almost to center as your regulator adjusts the alternator output to compensate for the high drain of the fans. If the needle is to the left of center while running, you are running on battery power instead of alternator power and your battery will eventually die along with your engine.
