ST2 Electrical Problems - HELP!!!

Picked up an ST2 a while back and have been having some intemittent problems with the electrics for which any advice would be greatly appreciated!

After a few weeks out on a ride and bike started running badly and ignition light came on. Broke down and recovered to local garage, new alternator.

All okay for a few months and then same symptons started took it back and they say the battery is knackered. However, last month the battery was dry and low but alternator seemed to be charging ok so assumed it would be okay.

Now Im getting paranoid as I want to take it away soon and am wondering if the regulator is on the blink - should I be registering 14.2 volts when its running? Seems a bit high to me and might explain why battery is cooked?

Anyway, as I say any advice would be really welcome, thanks.
