Look at your alternator. If it has a separate "sense" wire vs just having it wired off the B+ terminal, you might check that its connection to your chassis battery, isolator or where ever it is connected is clean and tight.
With an external sense wire, if there is resistance, it does not "sense" the full voltage and can lead to overcharging.
I am not suggesting that a little over 14 VDC is overcharging in cold conditions, but is something that can be easily checked.
Thanks for the tip. I didn't even know what a separate sense wire was, but just found a good description on the net. I'll check for this.
