Even after I turned the engine off the generator light actually glowed about half brightness. And I could hear and smell the batery boiling. I had to remove the ground strap from the batery to get it to stop. I was close to home so a few hours later when I went to go, I was able to hook the batery back up and drive even with the lights on. I removed the strap when I got home, I think the batery even lasted a few years after that.
