Most consumer alternators for about the last 40 years have had built in 
regulators.  My 06 has the regulator built in.

Warranty... there is no telling what they mean by "life".
Your life?  Car's life?  Sensor's life?  Engine's life?
You will need to get it in writing and read and understand the fine print.
