Check the fusible link in the wiring harness.
On the battery terminal side of the solenoid there are a couple of small wires hooked to the terminal. One of these is a fusible link, it should have a small plastic tab that says "fusible link 16 ga".
A quick check is to grasp the wire and tug it, if it feels soft or gives, its bad and needs to be replaced.

No, the fusible link is just that, inline overload protection. It doesn't have any effect on charge rate.
Most likely cause of overcharging is bad voltage regulator. Second would be a bad battery.
