Something else occurred to me.  When I was replacing the voltage
regulator with the brand new one I dutifully disconnected the battery.
Unfortunately I just set the cable aside and while I was connecting
the connectors from the battery to the regulator I dropped one and the
cable to the battery had slipped and was making contact with the post.
There was quite a bit of arcing.  I'm amazed those connectors aren't
shielded.

Anyway, Could I have damaged the battery?
