I've been thinking about removing my car's alternator to save on fuel. I only drive about 15 miles a day and I wouldn't mind charging the battery at home every night. I also have a 72 watt solar panel I built which I could use to keep the battery from discharging too fast. The parking lots at my school and work don't have any shade and I'd get about 10 hours of sun every day so I'm sure that would help. I just want to know if having to start the car 3 times a day and driving 15 miles with the solar panel would be too much. If so, would adding another battery help?
