"If you have 18 volts directly

"If you have 18 volts directly on the battery poles you have a broken circuit inside battery.
Check fluid in battery or discard.
If you have 18 volts elsewhere. I think you have too high resistance in your wiring. Clean all wiring connections between battery and motor.
(With 18V, there would be a very high charge current if the wiring and battery is in good condition. I dont think the stator is able to give that high current.=> I bet on bad wiring or bad battery).

Check ground wires for a good clean tight ground. Also check gauge 18 volt sure is high.
