mrrairai Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 This is my favorite one from that site Finkster posted. So many people think that this is the case with alts. Myth Driving a car will fully recharge a battery. Battery Truth The alternator is not a battery charger, but rather, a battery maintainer. It is true that a lightly discharged battery may regain full charge under normal driving conditions. However, a severely discharged battery must be recharged by an auxiliary battery charger. Failure to do so may result in damage to the vehicle's alternator and/or charging system.
