Has somebody checked the "sense" lead in the battery/alternator circuit,
for opens.
Mitsubishi alternators have an input lead marked as "S". this monitors
the battery voltage for the regulator (in the alternator).
If the "S" input "sees" a fully charged battery, it turns off the
alternator output, if it sees a lower voltage than 13.8 volts it turns
on the alternator so as to charge the battery. If this wire is open or
has a corroded connector on it the battery voltage will be read as less
than 13.8 volts, and the alternator will turn on, thus over charging,
and eventually killing the battery.
