Quite agree with the charging rate limitation. If one observes the meter
on a battery charger, the starting currents through the charger would be
around 4 amps in the worst case, coming down slowly to 0.5 amps in
about 12/16 hours; if this is any guidance the alternator charging load
would be about the same, not of the order multiples of ten amps!!

That is a crude charger. And a pretty small one if it peaks at 4 amps.
