HELP...battery is overheating...why? oh why? 850 1995

When is it getting hot?

If it gets hot while running, is the regulator / alternator screwed up? I would put a voltmeter on it. While running, I would expect it to read somewhere around 13 - 14 volts

If it gets hot while not running, I could only guess a partial short; ie, draining current very fast, but doesn't sound like it's being run down.

Try to give a little more detail on this.
