then you need a little more rpm to get the alternator to charge above the battery voltage. About 13.5 volts. The average alternator is now between 1,300 to 2,100 rpm. I set up an old 35 amp alternator to run off a 1/3 hp 1,750 rpm washing machine motor at a 1:1 belt ratio. Using the stock regulator would stall the 1/3hp motor. I put a large adjustable resister on the field connection of the alternator.
I google, but found different kind of answers, some say 15 min, some say 1 min, some say it take days to fully charged.....i'm really confused...but two things i'm sure: #1 alternator will charge the battery, it mainly for supplying electricity to the car, not for charing, but it will charge the battery after a period of time.
