Lets assume that your original no-start was caused by a blown 50amp fuse. The starter runs off the battery and should not exceed the 50amp rating. A failed voltage regulator can possibly blow the fuse and cook a lot of electronics.

Because you already had a no start condition before installing the new battery, which should be covered under its own warranty, that was not the problem.

I have never seen a 50amp fuse failure in the past 5-6 years on the Brickboard. You are the first!! There are lots of voltage regulator failures.
