The excessive current demands on the charging system of the car might
cause alternator or regulator damage. Some car charging circuits have
protection for excessive battery current draw during charge, most until
recent model years do not.

Think every car alternator ever made will limit the current to a safe
value for it. Indeed, even early ones had voltage limiting which meant
they simply wouldn't recharge a sulphated battery with a high internal
resistance.
