He means in lieu of plugging in to charge.
You might be able to get away with keeping the alternator switched off if you don't drain your battery much during daily driving, and charge it back up with a solar panel during the day.
You'll want to keep an eye on voltage levels as you drive, perhaps with a cigarette lighter voltmeter, or from other gauges you might have.
