Don't forget that voltage and amperage are two different measurements, 10 Amps charging at 15 Volts won't do as much damage to your cars running (operating) system as it would if it was charging at 100 Amps at 13.8 volts work scope

You realize amperage is dependent on the voltage too right? Kind of like pressure and fluid velocity. The higher the voltage difference the greater the current will flow. V=IR in a DC system. In the case of a battery, it is the difference between battery and alternator voltage that determines current flow to the battery.

Don't forget about the conductor size limiting current (amperage, not volts) flow, same thing on liquid delivery, lbs. of pressure and gallons or ounces per minute work grin
As far as the battery storing energy and what is charging it is another subject altogether whistling shruggy
Don't we love cars and how they work up
