Default Re: OT: "An Alternator is a Battery Maintainer, -NOT a Battery Charger."

If I heard that, I would understand it in the sense that an alternator "maintains" a battery at a full charge with proper use, where as a generator is a "charging" system. It will continue to charge the battery even if it is at full capacity, therefor overcharging the system.

My 2 cents. But I also wasn't there to hear his comment in context.
