the alternator on the cobra took a shit. once every week i take the honda and i hook it up to the cobra with the cables and i let it sit there and charge the cobra battery for about 30 mins, sometimes longer. that allows me to drive the cobra around the neighborhood for about 5 mins so shes not just sitting at the house. neither batteries have gotten hot on me so far but do any of u know if theres anything bad about doing this? thanx in advance.

it cant be good to do it over and over... is there a prob y u cant go get a new alt..... im just curious, i would get it fixed though it dosnt cause any serious probs to do it a couple of times... but it could get ugly if the battery pops

there seems to be a problem with some Termie alternators. my buddy just had his third one crap out on him last week. he's only had it since August...

yeah thats strange cuz ive heard that before. theres a black termi at the ford dealership here in town and a guy told me something about it being a buy-back and there were six problems that the factory had to fix. ive been lucky with alternators i guess. ive had the car a lil over a year and this will be the first time replacing the alternator.
