It could be that your belt needs to be tightened more. Alternators do not usually negatively affect batteries unless the voltage regulator goes bad and overcharges the battery. That is also a rarity though since most of the time when a voltage regulator goes bad it will either undercharge or not charge at all.

i had the exact same problem when i just had the LS swap, this can be solved by loosening the alternator kindabit and move it the opposite force of the belt, therefore making it tighter... after that is all done, retighten the bolt(s) that hold the alternator in place.

Yup, sounds like you just need to tighten your belt.

I dont quite understand this, tell me if my logic is wrong... If it is loose, that means that the alternator is not doing its job to the greatest potential, which means it would not be able to overcharge a battery which causes the overflow of water from the batery. So since his battery is still over flowing, couldnt you rule out the possiblity of a loose belt?

Well i was gonna suggest new alternator but cross that idea out. Why dont you just replace the belts?? i dont think its a loose belt.
