[T3] Alternator Output

[jason.smith@sarcom.com]

Hey all,
How long would it take the alternator on my 72 to recharge a fairly dead
battery?  The thing is I was messing with the radio the PO installed and
noticed that if hooked up, it drains the battery.  I jumped my car to get it
started, then took a quick 10 min spin to recharge the battery.  A few days
later the battery was dead.  I jumped it again and it died going down the
street and now will not jump at all.  I took the battery out and am getting
it charged.  I know after I put it back in, checking the Gen. output will be
the first step.  I was just curious, if my initial 10 minute drive should
have charged the battery enough.
