I'd rather spend $50 on a regular alternator and see if it works then forking out hundreds when you might not even need to.You said you have a 1 amp charger, thats a trickle charger, and usually used to keep small motorcycle batteries 'warm' when your not using it for a long time. I've never tried charging a car battery with one, so I don't know how long it would take. For a car battery, you want to use a 10 amp charger and charge it for at least 8-10 hours. Borrow one from a friend or neighbor if you can.Also, you can probably get a used alternator from a wreckers for maybe $20. I did that with one of my cars, put it in myself in about an hour, its a good idea if your working with a budget...</blockquote>
