A car/truck alternator is the WRONG TOOL to recharge house batteries, especially deep discharge batteries.. PERIOD !!!
BUT.....it is better than nothing.
13.2 is enough to put SOME charge back.
If you are driving for 8 hours, it might put back a significant amount.
Reading these threads is dangerous.
Now I need to pay closer attention to my alternator charging voltage......because after I got the "battery solenoid" replaced it now appears to stay above 14 all the time.
