Alternator Output / Overcharging?

Hey folks,
My Alt is putting 14.6v on the battery pretty much constantly, the battery is starting to sweat fluid on top because of it. I've swapped volt regulators (two diff ones) and it's the same deal, what am I missing here? I thought it should charge then stop?

14.6 is ok, have you had your battery checked? A weak battery can made an alt charge harder. When i got my van it was charging at 19.8 and the battery didn't leak a drop.

I did the GM one wire swap and i see 14.5-14.6 all the time.

Do you still have the mechanical VR in there? Running another wire and going with the electronic VR should keep you at 13.8 volts. The mechanical VRs suck.

If you're running an electronic VR, disconnect the VR and see if the alternator is still charging. I once had a Moper that was cooking the battery due to a bad alternator. Slight chance the wire from the alternator to the electronic VR could be grounding out too.

Id have the specific gravity in each cell of battery tested. If a Bad one - will tell aly . to give me more charging!! Making batt sweat!

Good idea's guys thanks!

It's a solid state VR and I tried the spare as well (I carry extras if the cost is cheap).

I'll disconnect the VR and see what it does and I'll have the battery checked. The previous owner put the battery in and I don't think Ive ever seen a cheaper looking one, it could very well be the problem.
