It's an 843, see 5th post down, I made a mistake originally.

Yeah, I would have thought so too... but nothing seems to be getting hot... none of the battery terminals, wires, solenoids, or the starter itself... I guess I will get the battery looked at... not unheard of for a new battery to have a bad cell so soon I guess.
