Usually if the battery is overcharging the alternator or voltage regulator (usually contained in today's vehicles) may be at fault. A good preliminary diagnosis is measure the voltage across the battery terminals engine running. DC voltage should be some where between 13.4 and 14.7 volts. If it is higher than 15 volts something with the alternator is a fault.
