nah, it's fine. Go ahead and do it. I'd be happy to replace your $300 alternator It's even better if you have a Ford Escape or a late 90's Caddy.

modern alternators are highly overworked just taking care of the car they're in, let alone another one. They are designed to KEEP a battery charged and operate the car's electrical loads.

go buy a charger or a jump pack instead, it's much cheaper.
