Battery Question (archive)

Posted by T.F. on January 14, 2001 at 14:58:20:

My mechanic told me that I should never let the car recharge a dead battery (by driving around). He said that the battery also performs the function of regulating power to the alternator. Using the car to recharge the battery apparently will damage the alternator severely.
Has anyone had any experience with this?
Thanks,
