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.
If so, the alternator is good, and is pumping current into the battery using higher voltage. Let the car jump 5 minutes to charge the battery (the battery will reach full voltage in a few minutes if it is good, completely recharging it is another thing), and try to start it again. If it still won't start, the battery probably needs replacing, because it evidently won't hold a charge any more.
