They do, actually.  If you dig around on their web site, you'll find where
it says there is no limit on alternator capacity, as long as the alternator
is regulated to 15.0 volts or less.  And that their batteries may be "quick
charged" at any rate, as long as the voltage never exceeds 15.6 volts and
the battery temperature does not exceed 125F.

(Their home page won't work on this computer, apparently it requires ActiveX
functions that I have blocked.)
