You can not overcharge a battery with a properly functioning alternator.

Wanna bet?

Enlighten me. From my experience on a multiude of vessels as crew, running
for hours and even days on both gas and diesel axilliary, I have never heard
of a battery begining overcharged by operation of an engine for extended
durations. I have been informed by many people that such an incident could
not occur with a properly functioning alternator. Maybe you have experience
to contradict this? If so, I would be interested in the conditions and
siuations that led you your conclusions.
