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.
