First off, you would actually lose more power than you would gain by using an alternator to recharge the battery. Additionally, I don't see how an alternator can pass the Parts Use Flow Chart.

This would be a Yes. Therefore, you can't use it.

For a more precise answer you would have to tell us the purpose of the alternator.
