If you have it on the atv and running,it's not charging! Should be at 14 volts.. Check that the regulator wires are all plugged in. If they are just order the cheap regulator on ebay.This may be the main reason you're having problems?

Just simply splice in new bullet connectors on the burnt wiring to accept new regulator leads. You have to have it to keep the battery charged,so the lights will work,fan will work,etc....I've had regulators melt along with wiring also. Had to do the same thing.

I guess that's better than too little but you can only stick it so far into a butt connector on each end.
