BTW- There's really good battery threads here on the site. The guys that post in those threads are very good and know what they're talking about. There's definitely more to it than what I say here.
Oh yea, the alternator isn't there to charge the battery (although it will some), but it's job is to maintain the battery.
Good threads on this in the 2004+ forums.

My truck eats batteries like Tic Tac's and I'm on set number 3 since I bought it. The originals lasted 2 years, Optima batteries lasted 4 years, and I'm hoping to get at least 4 years out the Interstate batteries that I put in last fall. Oh yeah........the truck is also on alternator number 3.

Yep, a Diehard Palladium, - just picked it up, well barely, the girl who waited on me tried, = fail. I tried to act all tuff and pick it up like it was nothing, = fail... That's one heavy battery! I should weight it.
$207
- I paid, hang on, I can't recall, okay, I left the receipt in the trunk lol. - $263, but I haven't turned in my old yet, - it's worth $15 I guess. Hope that's wrong and it's worth $50 instead.

Oh yea, dumped my damn water turning into the place; what a soaker, -
Yea, from the knee cap down. I didn't look right away, couldn't actually, well, not until I felt it trickling into my boot. Oh well, no biggy, so, I was on a mission, - squish pause squish pause squish.... Didn't matter I was on a mission right!
But boy that squish effect echoed off of Sears polished floors, once I made it in there.. Heck wid it, on a mission....
