You have been incorrectly informed. A defective alternator, military or

| Hello -- I've been informed the military alternator
civilian, will draw down a battery. A non-defective one will not.
The defect is generally shorted diodes. There are several in an alternator.
If one or more short out, there will be a draw. See an alternator wiring
diagram, and you will understand why.
