Most of the answers given are correct. It is a faulty voltage regulator. If you allow this to continue very long, it will ruin the battery and burn out the alternator as well.how much will it cost to replace an engine?
I suggest you get this taken care of right away. And yes, most regulators used today are solid state and inside the alternator. You will have to replace the whole alternator or go to a repair shop and have them replace the regulator. If there are many miles since new you should go ahead and replace the whole thing.

Yes the voltage regulator, its like a electrical tap that lets volts through to the battery. On older cars they are seperate items from the alternator but a lot of modern cars are built in to the alternator.A faulty fusebox can also cause this problem by sending the wrong information to the regulator as well, causing it to overcharge.
Bad voltage regulator.

Replace the alternator! Unless you know how to replace the voltage regulator inside the alternator. If it's an older vehicle it may have an external voltage regulator which would be easy to replace.2000 Cadillac Escalade - I smell anitfreeze but there's no leak?

A bad regulator.A properly functioning alternator should produce more voltage/amps than the car should ever need.
It's the regulator's job to insure that the overcharge is grounded off before reaching the battery.
