Don't rule out the VR/alt

I lost my alt in Nebraska, heading for Denver. I was able to charge the battery and run for ~70mi on the old battery. Ended up buying a new one and it ran me all the way to Denver, around 200mi.
I've had batteries with bad cells which prevent charging and jump starting. I've also had bad alt in two non saabs that acted much the same. Seems diodes can leak down the battery, and even prevent charging. I've unhooked the terminals and recharged fine. Most of the local battery places around here will give you an honest eval of your alt, hope the same is true for you in NJ.
What kind of charger did you buy?
