George,
Where did you get the idea that the alternator does NOT charge the battery?
This is not the case as I have seen it with my own eyes.

Subject: [oletrucks] an electrifying idea
|I want to throw an idea out and see if anyone has a suggestion:
|to get optimum efficency, offroader and racer will run two alternators.
|My idea is to run both an alternator and a generator.
|
|reasons for this set-up are on an alternator system you can run
|a car with little or no charge in the battery as long as you get a
|jump but it will not charge thw battery. with a generator you cannot
|run the car without the battery or with very little charge. but the
|generator will charge a battery if there is sufficent energy to keep
|the motor running does anyone have any ideas to make this setup
|work or should i start messing around with wires, any and all input
|will be greatly appreciated.
