The voltage regulator is built into the alternator. You're right. It sounds like an overcharging condition and could pose an extremely dangerous threat. If you have it serviced and the service center is within 20 miles or so, I would disconnect the alternator from the battery and proceed to the repair shop.Regardless, get it repaired ASAP.
