Batteries cooking

Batteries are just the old school type and the alternator is a 200 amp Carquest which is just a rebranded Delco Remy.

(the beer is talkin') ...
after-gabrage branded alternator with after-garbage results. Its likely re-branded because it is not up to proper spec.

Get an actual leese-neville or other actual truck designed alternator that is meant for AGM's or gell-cells at slightly lower output, and not cooking batteries every time you turn around.
