Sounds like a short somewhere. Check the big leads that go to the starter and alternator, see if there is any chafed through. Otherwise take it to an auto elecy before you turn it to a cinder.

You have't connected it up the wrong way round have you? If so, even though its right now it could have burnt out the alternator diodes and possibly other things as well.
