Alternator isnt charging. Alternator supplies power when vehicle is running. To test, start vehicle and then disconnect battery. If engine dies, you have an alternator problem. Also check wiring to make sure nothing is shorted.
You have a short.

Hello, It could be what you said. But if you know the Voltage was too high, you may want to replace the Ignition Relay and the Fuel pump Relay. If the contact points are cooked, they could work intermittently and it would be difficult to test. A bump or a little overheating could cause the contact points to break loose and then work when they cool.
It is good that the "check lights" are off. I always tell my clients that the scans are free at Autozone, Oreillys, and Advance. Some things like Relays may not trigger a light.
Be careful with a Wiggle test, but you may find a short in the wiring by shaking the wiring under the hood. I doubt the Voltage Regulator is causing your current stalling problem. A fully charged Battery without a Regulator or an Alternator would provide an amount of reliable power until the Battery was drawn down.
I hope my Solution is very helpful.

Have the battery checked as they fall over, a cell at a time, anywhere from 2 - 5yrs. Yrs could be shot.

A mechanic would disconnect the fuses and relays to check the circuits for a power drain.

Oh no..... dont ever try to unhook the battery when the car is running because you can damage alot of elect. componance. But if your light is on then you need to check the connection to ya alter. it may be coroated or just loose. Also make sure your battery cables are clean and tight.
