Help battery over charge

Brake light is probably low fluid level in reservoir. 370Zs seem to be real picky about the level. Fill it to the top mark.

I don't think the two are related but can't swear to it.

Beg/borrow/steal an OBD scanner and the car should tell you what is wrong.

all cells took 3-4 oz of water each. I think it was to late to save it. 3 years +

If you still have high voltage after replacing the battery, the FSM says to repair/replace the alternator. I found no procedure to adjust the settings in the ECM although the ECM does seem to have a lot of control over charging voltage (if I understood what I read). A Nissan dealer can do an in-depth test of the system using CONSULT but I saw no mention of any adjustments.
