2000 watt hours is a huge amount of energy! stock starting battery in a Honda Civic is 480 watt hours, the lithium battery pack for my electric motorcycle is 4,800 watt hours, so I suspect that someone didn't get their facts straight.
I suspect that either the alternator is putting out 2000 watts for that few seconds at the 25v that they say the alternator works at it's putting out around 80 amps, but for only 8 seconds that would be 4.5 watt hours, about the energy stored in a pair of AA batteries.
