REFLECTOR: Over Charging Help !!

It sounds like the voltage regulator is not working correctly.  You shouldn't see more than about 14.2 - 14.6 volts when it is charging correctly.  Voltage this high (16-17 volts) will overcharge and damage your battery.  When the battery opens up, the voltage may go even higher and start wiping out your electronics and avionics - not good!

  Just had to replace my alternater and upon doing so, I noticed on my EDM700 that the new one was putting out more voltage than the old one.  It was flashing due to volts reading in the upper 16's and low 17's.  Test flew for a while and noticed it did'nt drop any..... I think I might have to exchange it for a different one.  I believe its overcharging....can anyone share their vast knowledge on regulating voltage? 
  Thanks
