AGM Battery alternator charging/ possible alternator issue

Hi all, Searched for some time now for an answer to this but am not coming up with exactly what I was looking for. Plus most battery/battery charging threads end up being 14 pages long with detail...

Good luck.

But it is not a "potential" alternator issue.

The max. charging voltage should be about 14.5 and it should not even stay at that for very long.

The regulator is built into the alternator these days so unless there is a wire pinched and shorted out somewhere.....it just about has to be the alternator.

Note: Having said all that......mine runs at about 14.3 ALL the time. That concerns me a little but so far no problems.
