You might try disconnecting the battery and cleaning up the terminals.  If the alt senses low voltage caused by a weak connection, the alternator will start overcharging the battery, thinking it's low.

oo this one is scary this is what happened to my jeep and made it eat 7 new starters in 5 months it turned out to be the connections under the fuse box in the engine compartment they all rotted away and since the compy couldnt figure it out it thought the answer was to over charge the batt and send mad high amps through the starter
