It looks like to me the alternator is malfuntioning and putting to many amps, voltage or both or the batterys shot.

a poor connection will cause resistence there as well. was it tight? thats the only thing i can think of.

Wow.. that's crazy.
Please let us know what they find because I'd like to know, personally..
There are tests you can do to your alternator diodes, stator, windings etc if you take it apart. Just search for them on the internet. You could probably figure it all out by yourself if you are getting a multimeter..

who installed it? If you had it done at a shop I would take it back there and get them to solve the problem. If you did, well then its called learning.

Where are you putting the test leads exactly? One on the positive and one on the negative alternator outputs? And is it running?

honestly it looks to me like the cable was toated by either a bad/loose connection or a faulty voltage regulator and sine its internal then its the alternator thats bad, change the wires and clean up all contact points and try putting some dialectric grease on them. then check voltage
