Returning Visitors
If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Start checking the system. Also how old is it? Usually batteries dont cook until they're receiving a lot of volts. Its possible you might have scrapped a battery from a bad R/R pumping out too many volts.
Simple test for common problem?
Simple test for common problem?
It's being overcharged because the R/R has gone bad. Check the charging voltage at the battery at low and high RPM. It's got to be 14.5 to 15 volts.
See the Stator Papers for more detailed guidance.

Do all your tests. A spike in voltage can get very costly if left unchecked and thats your problem. Have you checked your battery itself? water level, bad from old age?
