Overcharging Mini

Hi all

A Fiend of mine at work has a 1440 mini, which has an altenator, Lucas Sports Coil and Petrinox electronic ignition.
The problem she is having is cooking the battery, she has fitted a new altenator and coil and is still experiencing problems.
Any suggestions as to the cause of this?..Digging deep in my memory I seem to remember that a ballast resistor was fitted on some Mini's to prevent this sort of problem, and I know she does not have one of these fitted at present.
Any help is much appreciated.
Cheers
