I wouldn't bother as for $21 bucks at Wally World you can get a battery maintainer/charger (2 amp) but it floats and will quit when done. Can get a faster one for more bucks but if you have a day, these work just fine for a low battery, quicker if not so low.

Red, amber and green leds tell you low, medium and done charging with green. The belt and if you have a motor to run an alternator on a bench or something would cost more and be a pill.

Have one on each of my collection of crap fav is a "Shumacher - Speed/charge/maintainer" but they shouldn't use the word "speed" as it's not which is an advantage IMO,

Re: Car Generator Help! Sign In
Just curious. Which generator do you have (model)? Is this an AC generator(alternator) or a DC generator? What are you going to use to spin it? If this isn't some sort of project or experiment, you should follow Tom's advice.
