What I thought about doing was putting the jumpers between the
batteries just like I was jumpstarting the car. Then I start the car
with the questionable battery/alternator. Leaving the negative jumper
attached to the negative cable on the questionable battery, I remove
the negative cable from that battery and wrap plastic around it to
insulate it. That way the alternator is attached only to the good
battery in the other car. If the meter sees 13.7v, the alternator
should be good and the questionable battery identified as being the
problem. I have negative to negative and positive to positive with the
questionable battery out of the picture. Wouldn't that work?
Yes, that would work.
But what if you slip?

Used to doing that. If so, just start over with new diodes, new regulator,
new alternator, new battery, new car; whatever it takes. (grin)
