A voltage spike that may damage the alternator will occur far faster than you can react! And, as far as it being a "poor man's test", if someone tries it, and does have the bad luck of "frying" their alternator, they WILL be "poorer"! I stand by my other post... removing the battery cable intentionally while the engine is running on an alternator-equipped machine is a bad thing to do, and telling someone to do it was bad advice. Please don't get torked off about this, and leave in a huff, as you have done before, and sometime when I goof on a suggestion, I will accept your constructive criticism between friends in the same fashion!
