Okay. I can't spell today. My question(s) Is:

What wire does the Battery Charge Indicator Gauge, that displays given voltage, tap Into from? Whats the route It follows?

You mean the wires it uses from the harness? Or where the wires in the harness come from?

The gauges are powered by the main ignition wire from the switch.

Of course it goes through fuses and such.

You should get a wiring diagram, it's all in there.

The instrument cluster has one wire that feeds 12V to all the instuments via the PCB, and they're all grounded the same way. The voltmeter is simply measures the voltage across the 12V and ground tracks on the PCB. There aren't any external wires.
