Does it discharge thru the night, i.e. no starting problems ?
Check the connection of the wire to the post clamp.

If you have any resistance between the wire and the post clamp it will heat 
while charging or drawing current.

S-men,
The positive post on my battery seems to get very hot (you can't keep your 
hand on it).  I've just replaced the alternator but believe it was that way 
with the old one as well (it melted the plastic cover a bit).  I have tried 
a different battery - same result.  Thought the problem would be the battery 
but changing it to another didn't make a difference.
Any BTDT?
Appreciative, as always, of any assistance,
Bob in spring is finally here, Edmonton
