Default Problem with battery overcharge

Hi, I have a 1994 Mustang with a 1999 3.8L and a GT kit.

I have been having an issue where my battery seems to be overcharging. I changed my alternator...also the voltage regulator since it was ONE unit. It's the second time I changed alternators. First, I had put a repro- in, then it burnt out and now, I have a new one that has been on the car for about 4 months.

So, with all three alternators I have been going through about a battery per year for the past few years. I checked my grounds and they're good. I don't know what else to check since the alternator is new-ish.

I am thinking maybe a new alternator wiring harness might do the trick??? not sure though.
