12.35 volts per battery is not topped off, it's a 60~70% charge. Not keeping the batteries fully charged will lead to premature battery failure.

Battery voltage is 12.7 for a fully charged 12 volt battery. X2 for 24 volt system or 25.4 for a 24 volt battery pack. Either you are measuring wrong or the alternator isn't working.

I completely understand 74M35A2. Like you, I worked in the rotating electric field for many years. I've done or had my tech do many durability/destructive tests on different new alternator components. I never offered complete units because of the reasons you mention. The regulator is not going...

Actually, that is not true. In fact, I can't think of any 12 volt regulator set point that is more than about 14.8. A 24 volt alternator is simply double that or a little less. I have a dual voltage 30SI in my M915A1 and it is 14 volts on the 12 volt side and 28 volts on the 24 volt side...

Over 32 volts is a little high. I would expect 29.5 to about 30 max for a 24 volt system. Is that a 32 volt alternator?
