RSVX and I were wondering how far you could go with no alternator a while back when his was shot.
This is the second time I've had to go this far without an alternator. My battery is a normal battery with around 850CCA. After about 1.5 hours total driving the voltage measured at the lighter was 10.8V and I could still start the car without a problem.

I also used as few accessories as possible including climate control, turn signals, brakes...
