Hey everybody! Was wondering if it was possible to charge another car's battery with my 69 bus. Since it has a generator it should charge it right? I know that an alternator only replace's a battery charge to where it was when it started. The battery in my other car is good but since i havent driven it in a while the battery went dead. If it is possible to recharge a battery with the bus how would I wire it up with jumper cables?
Or would it be best to just borrow a battery recharger?
Thanks

Get a charger, electricity's way cheaper than gas. If you must do it use jumper cables like you are jump starting the dead car, + to + and _ to _.

Just buy one for $50 and then you will have it.
