My alternator is not playing, I had a replacement alternator fitted quite a while ago that didn't have the correct shaped socket on the back so a small loom, 3 wires, was made up to link the oval plug with the round socket. Now this alternator is failing, the dash lights were coming on but it was still charging albeit a bit lower than it should, but while investigating the problem the wires were pulled out without noting where they were plugged (not by me I hasten to add) and reconnected wrongly, now the dash lights are not coming on but it's not charging at all.
I've got another alternator coming from Steff but until it arrives I've got to stick the battery on charge now and again, so how long will the battery last just using it for starting? (I'm using the truck as little as possible and not using headlights or any other thing that would use up battery power)
