Take it to a battery dealer. They will test the battery and the charging circuits in a few seconds for free.

Thanks guys but could this actually be a battery issue causing the shaking?

If the voltage is low, the spark may be degraded and possibly cause the engine to run rough.

I'd have both the battery and alternator checked properly.
