What will cause your 1995 Buick Riviera to overcharge the battery?

The charge from the alternator to the battery is regulated by the On-Board Computer System (mainly referred to as the PCM or ECU). I had a problem with my Riviera not charging the battery and blowing out alternators by sending feedback to them. I would recommend seeking an OEM re-manufactured or replacement computer. They are not easy to install so it's up to you if you want to try. I would recomment a mechanic so it is warrantied.

Defective voltage regulator which is built into the alternator. You need to have your charging system checked. You should read from 13.5 to 15.5 volts at the battery with the engine idling. Very much more and the voltage regulator is defective.
Is it possible to overcharge rechargable batteries?
yes, intelligent battery chargers have a temperature sensor that cuts off the current when the battery temperature rises. This is a sign of being fully charged. Cheaper chargers carry on until you switch off,this can cause the electrolyte to boil away and shorten the life of the battery. In extreme cases overcharging can buckle the plates of a battery making it useless.
Does a 1995 Buick Riviera transmission fit in any other car?
The 1995 Buick Riviera SC 3.8 uses a 4T60E transmission very similar to the other 3.8's of the era and will physically bolt up to other cars, though the gearing of the final drive in the supercharged Riviera is 3.29 fine pitch, where the others are most often a 3.06, 2.83 or 3.33 none of which are fine pitch ratios. This will cause problems with trans control modules. Hollander interchange lists the 1995 Riviera SC 4T60E non-interchangeable with any other applications.
