A generator has a permanent magnetic field. So all it takes, it to spin it up to a high enough speed to make the requlator kick in... You can always pull start a generator tractor with a dead battery, as long as the battery is not a short.
An alternator must use battery voltage to create a magnetic field.. so it can never start by pulling with a dead battery.
A one wire uses an tiny amount of electricity to put and keep... a very small magnetic field on the alternator,, and spinning it up to a high speed to finally sense enough voltage to kick in a charge,, very similar to a generator.
A conventional alternator using the ignition sense lead to turn on the alternator and magnetize it so it requires a working ignition lead through a diode or warning light to activate it. It does not have the bleed resistor in it. This type will charge as soon as it it spun... does not require to be spun up to a higher speed to start charging. And it will not have a small bleed current when turned off.
