Crappy parts store voltage regulators

Were they grounded pretty good, i find over charging is due to a weak ground on the regulator, but with today's crap i would not be surprised if i was bad out of the box!
While they dont seem to last.... the cheapo versions are painted grey or blue and you have to sand the paint off the back for q good ground. You can also just run a ground wire eyelet to one of the bolts and run it to the battery ground.
