Here's another little tidbit that everyone knows--or should--but somehow manages to ignore.

Generators/alternators were NOT designed to charge a dead battery. That's why when folks ask me for a jump, I offer instead to take them home or else to remove their battery and take it somewhere and get it charged for them.
If it's truly dead, I'd agree. However, many vehicles won't turn over when the battery is still at 50%. Anecdotally, I'd bet that most "dead batteries" fall into this category.
