Someone pls school me on Alternators.

So different people say different things and want to just understand on tis subject

Alternators:

I thought, that alternators charge the battery and also deliver v, DC for the electrical system. A friend of mine point blank said "you cannot charge a battery by driving a car" (as in, if the battery is low)

so I'm confused, as, we drive our cars and unless there is a problem, we don't always plug the car in ? Unless the demand is high (like short trips in winter) or a short in the electrical.

The message does come up saying "battery discharged or low while stopped, start engine" or similar putting on the Ctek overnight did the trick, but a 100km round trip didn't fix it.

So pls skool me yall !
