As mentioned approximately 14V is correct. The alternator continues to charge the battery until the regulator tells it not to charge any more. The regulator is still at fault and you are going to burn up another battery if you don't fix it. Check all grounds and electrical connections on the back of the alternator and the starter solenoid as well as the battery cables themselves. The regulator may not be getting an accurate reading of the battery voltage and therefore not shutting down the charging soon enough because of a bad wire connection.
