Is the battery in good condition

Check the smart charge lead. Triangular plug from the alternator, wires run along the rad under the battery and off towards the ecu. Comman fault that the wires break, replacement loom is available from your stealer for about £20

Your over charging at 16volts
14.4 is about right

16v is a bit high, on charge, and 12v is a bit low, off charge
