Yes possible. If switch does not open on engine shut down battery will drain If switch does not close on start up battery will not charge

What would cause the battery to overcharge?
Defective voltage regulator.

defective voltage regulator
Why the battery on a Harley Sportster would not stay charged?
It could be a bad battery or regulator. To check the regulator to see if it putting out the correct voltage check the battery voltage while the bike is running. It should be around 14 volts.
What regulates the voltage to the battery on a 2001 1.6 focus and what would cause it to cook at 17v?
Bad voltage regulator
What would make my battery go dead after replacing it and the alternator?
The vehicle should ave a voltage regulator. If the battery and alternator are good then the regulator is most likely bad.
What would dodge durango keep going dead and have too high of a voltage when put on a tester replaced the battery still drawing to high of voltage and battery dead?
With the engine running you should read 13.5 to 15.5 Volts DC at the battery posts. A reading much higher than this indicates the voltage regulator in the alternator is defective.
Why would your battery light stay on after you have put in a new battery and alternator?
The battery light comes on when the alternator output voltage is too low or too high. You have a wiring or regulator problem.The battery light comes on when the alternator output voltage is too low or too high. You have a wiring or regulator problem.
Would an alternator burn a battery up?
If the voltage regulator (usually located inside the alternator) were to go bad and not limit voltage to the battery quite possilby _yes
In a DC circuit is there an alternate to rheostat for controlling the battery voltage?
In a DC circuit, one alternate to the rheostat for controlling battery voltage is a voltage regulator. You could build a linear regulator, but you need to consider the power that might be dissipated - this would be the same amount of power dissipated by the rheostat. You could also build a switching regulator - this would be more complex, but it could be more efficient because the dissipation across the regulator would be less.
Your 1986 ford is over charging and blowing up your battery?
would it be my voltage regulator or a wiring problem
Where is the voltage regulator on my 1975 F-350 and would the truck start if this was bad?
Voltage regulator is inside the rear of the alternator Vehicle will start and run until battery either goes dead (open regulator) or burns up (constantly closed regulator) due to overcharging
Why would a car battery bubble?
Minor bubbling is normal when battery is charging. Excessive may be due to the battery being overcharged--perhaps a bad voltage regulator.
