The high system voltage is another indication the battery is not in the circuit, meaning there's a broken connection. The battery is the key component in helping the voltage regulator do its job.
Did you check the connections on the under-hood fuse box?
Which new terminals are you referring to? If you replaced the cable clamps right at the battery posts, with universal clamps that you bolt the cables to, those are not meant for a permanent repair. They cause way too much trouble with loose and corroded cables under those straps. They're meant to be temporary repairs until the cable assembly can be replaced.
If all the connections look good, the next step is to get the problem to occur so we can look for the defect. Turn the head light switch on so current is trying to flow. That will also provide a visual indication as to when you do something that affects the bad connection.
Use a test light and check at the four places pointed out by the arrows in the first drawing. You should find full battery voltage on all four points. Let me know what you find there.
Here's a guide to using a test light if you need it:
