The fact that it has a new fully charged battery and the RR is making heat could mean the shunt is intact. A couple things you'll want to see.
Off voltage: 12.85v to 13.00v after sitting 2 hrs.
Idle below 1300 rpm is load dependent.
Above 2500 rpm expect 14 to 14.5v
A fully charged battery will show a higher system voltage. While charging a depleted battery it is current that charges the battery so you will see the system voltage under 14v. This is all normal depending on battery health.
Another concern for you is leakage current that kills your battery. Here is a where a test lamp is very handy. Disconnect the Negative battery lead and place a test lamp between battery post and battery Neg lead. The light should not light or glow at all. If it does, there is a drain on your battery and it will leave you stranded w a dead battery.
