R-44 Raven 2

Am after some tech assistance.

A friend has been having some issues with his 44 electrical system. Helicopter has been sluggish and slow to start, when the 44 has flown for a bit with the amp gauge showing that the batt is charging, when trying to start the 44 again after a flight the batt is almost dead. The batt has been changed and it appears to be doing the same thing. When the pilot has looked under the 44 and felt the starter it has been red hot.

Any help and ideas would be appreciated.

Cheers.
