HiHi Dave,Connecting directly to the alternator is fine with these batteries. With a larger voltage range, the batteries can charge up to 16.8V (which is great for graphs, fish finders, and stereos) which makes this a great fit for charging from an alternator. Also, we have a couple different series, but even the standard series has a 200A continuous discharge rate, which is suitable for many starters.If you wanted to top off the battery with a charger to get the full 16.8V, you'll get a battery with an immense amount of capacity. You'll just want to double check that the rest of your electronics are OK with the higher voltage (most electronics in the last 5 years are actually designed for higher voltage).Let me know if you have any other questions!Tom
