If you have 41.7 volts from a 12 volt battery, something is wrong. While running, that alt shouldn't be producing more than 14 volts. You must have a bad voltage regulator.

I feel funny saying this, but I am not an expert with this brand vehicle. However, at that voltage, you don't need to be. I'm surprised that battery is even working.
