By 2 wire, I assume you have connected the #2 terminal to the output post (Big terminal) this sensor wire controls the voltage output at the alternator. If it is connected well, I suspect the regulator inside the alternator to be out of spec. Typical voltage at the battery terminals at 1/2 throttle with the battery charged is 14.2 to 14.6 volts. If you operate a system much higher than 14.6 (maybe as much as 15) it will reduce the life of the battery. The exception would be short run times and cold weather. In which case the drain on the battery would compensate for high charge rates. Before replacing parts, clean all connections to the battery and ignition to Alt and bat to alt wires. Special look at the #2 terminal to output post is warranted. Good luck, JimN
