Think of your battery as a tank of water. The alternator refills the tank until it gets full, then waits until the level drops off to refill the tank again.

Those who think the energy drain of an alternator is constant just dont understand the fact that the battery voltage level "tells" the alternator

Charge me
Dont charge me

If this was not the case all batteries would be overcharged into oblivion in a very short time, with the electrolyte cooked out of the battery.

gary
