Why does my alternator keep overcharging
What is your question?
I have had my alternator on my car overcharge at least 5 time. Requiring me to replace it. I don't know why it keeps doing it. When it happens the voltage goes to 18 if not more volts

The internal voltage regulator sets the voltage needed to operate the vehicle. Ensure you are using a quality replacement part. Is the replacement alternator equipped with a replacement regulator also? Keep in mind that this system can be tested using a diagnostic tool via CAN networking; this would be greatly useful.
