What did the ground voltage test I outlined earlier show?
You need the following:
VR ground MUST be at same voltage as battery NEG
VR power/ sense MUST be at same voltage as battery POS
If these two are met and the voltage still charges high (over 14) then either you have a wiring problem causing the field to be bypassed, the VR is out of calibration, or the battery is bad
Next, if you have a known good battery out of something else, might swap in long enough to see if it changes
