O.K., why would it be any different than in a car?  Something weird happened
with the alternator (call it a charger) in my truck and it fried my battery
by "overcharging" it.  that's exactly what the mechanic called it.  He said
that the guy who replaced the burned out alternator (it had caught on fire)
should have checked the battery and the battery cables at the same time.
