Charging question

What would cause the charging system to OVERCHARGE the battery? My prelude is charging my battery at around 14.9 shouldn't it be around 14.2? I just had to relpace my battery because it died. Can overcharging kill it? I can see an alternator undercharging as the brushes wear out and the alternator wears out but overcharging? Should I hook up a big car stereo to drain some of the amps?
