[DML] Re: how long will battery last w/ no alternator

Hi Mr./Ms. Funk.

You'll have to ask davidlasvegas whether it's for real, and why he
doesn't want to change the alternator.  I only did the math about
whether he'd make the trip or not, and gave him a few ways to improve
the odds.  The general consensus is that changing the alternator is
easy enough to make the risk of driving it unjustifiable.  Seems
sensible to me.

Have we met before?  Regrettably, I don't remember your name.  

Rick.
