[AT] Generator vs. Alternator

[DAVIESW739 at aol.com]

Alternators will charge at idle where generators need some Rs up to around 
1000 to get anything from them. Most cars that idle at around 5 to 600 with a 
generator will actually run the battery down if left on for sometime. Then this 
is all in the old days as most new cars have small 4 bangers that idle around 
900 to 100 anyway. also it much cheaper to bild an alternator less parts.
