you have a short on one of the wires going to the alternator or a short in the battery wire.

Be sure you re-connected wires properly. Sounds like you may have a hot connected to a ground

I agree , I'm no expert, but i think you got something hooked up backwards.

You have a short to ground somewhere. Be careful you don't want to blow that battery up in your face.
