I have a LI150 Series 2. I have upgraded to 12v and fitted a Casatronic Ducati Ignition System which works a treat.
I have connected the wiring as per their instructions and fitted a 12V Battery.
I have found that the Battery is always live and as such drains quickly and gets quite hot.

Any suggestions???

If it is losing charge and getting hot whilst not in use, you have a very large load being drawn somewhere.
If nothing is switched on, check your wiring!

If you've wired it as per instructions using a junction box, make sure that it is an AC type, to keep your AC and DC circuits separate. A DC one will short your battery through the stator!
Also check the green pair are where they say they are, I've had one where the green dot was in the wrong place leading to a short.

I’ve had a couple like that. Just pop the back off and have a look at how it’s set up.
