Check the three wires that come out of the stator behiend the flywheel, they have a tendency of shorting out there.

Do you have a voltmeter?Make sure it isnt overcharging.Rev it up it should never go over 15 volts max.Otherwise look for something that is literally bending the battery.Like if you dont have the mount update which tilts battery away from motor to prevent battery from being damaged.
