An alternator should not be putting out close to 20 V. Maybe 14.5 at the most. Perhaps you have to high of a voltage coming from the alternator. I would guess that your best coiurse of action would be to just get this one checked.
Also check for loose battery or ground connections.

its a voltage regulator inside the alternator that is bad. it can damage electronics in your car if you keep driving it. you can should never see that much voltage. the extra amperage is nice though
