RE: battery smells
The regulator/rectifier should disipate the extra voltage from stator in the form of heat. If you have changed it already did you get a new stock R/R or an aftermarket...or a mod. I replaced mine with an aftermarket that has cooling fins on it and has a wide aluminum base where it touches the frame. I also put some cpu grease between the R/R and frame to help it conduct heat better.
Not sure what else it could be...maybe a short somewhere in the wiring???
