Alternator overcharging CAN happen. but the problem here is that those people ---- who the @!@#*)!@# ever that works in that Autozone ... if he doesnt know anything about "that" Alternator, he shouldn't give his 0.02 at all. know what I mean ? 14.25 is perfectly fine.
Report his *** to the manager or something. Not like anything Gonna happen I think. but I think u can just walk back to that Autozone and make a scene outa it so all other customers know wtf is going on.

I once had an overcharged battery that kind of exploded. All it did was blow the caps off the filler holes and smolder. Got a nice puff of smoke coming out around the hood. When I popped the hood for a look, the caps were gone and the case was bulged outward.
After putting in a new battery, I checked the charging system. I think it was around 16 volts. Put in a new regulator.
It was on my wife's old AMC Hornet, so if there was any damage to the car there was no way to tell.

It doesn't take too long to figure out who at the Autozone(or any other store) knows what the hell they are talking about and who doesn't.
I've actually got a really good guy at mine. He's proved himself to me........even though I still take it all for what it's worth. I will trust him more than most....albeit, I haven't had to use him for anything related to my 8.
