Check battery wires and B+ wire from battery to alternator. Sounds like the alternator is charging full tilt all the time. This would also damage the battery.

good luck

Suggest downloading the 94-97 Accord Shop Manual and performing the diagnostics in electrical section. You could have bad ignition wiring. See Online Manuals links in DIY forum.

I would expect excessive load from some source, but electrical system has fuses. Are you running additional load; big amplifier and speakers perhaps?

good luck
