Re: over-voltage from alternator?

 Whenever my alternator acts like that, I either have a loose or polished
up fan belt or a dirty main battery connection.

With the bad belt, the battery is never fully charged so the alternator
is trying to 'catch up' so I see a high reading on the volt gauge and
the lights get brighter.

When I have a bad connection, same deal except it seems to put out
higher to jump the bad connection.

Or the alternator's regulator could just be worn out.
