Bad alternators do not produce extra voltage. Bad regulators do that.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).

What do you mean it's still showing it as charging with the key off and out? Like the battery continues to read 16-17 volts?

Are you saying it's going up and down as you read it with the car off?

In that case I'd check it with another meter just to see what's going on. It's possible you've got a problem with your test equipment...

If you're measuring the battery in degrees, thats probable the problem. You should check it with a volt meter, not a temperature gauge.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).
