you altenator will burn out from exesive use like from sound systems and crap and yea it would burn out from recharging the battery all the way like that, but a batter holds a charge if it didnt then you wouldnt be able to start your car, b/c the battery would be dead, a batter wont hold a charge tho after you drain it completely. you altenator is bassically a little power generator, it take mechanical energy convert its to electrical energy wich is then used to power your car and to restore the power taken from your batter to start the car

and u/d pulleys will also cause your altenator to burn out and drain your battery, b/c the altenator wont be spining the speed it was designed to spin in order to produce the power for your car, so then the power from your battery is used to power your accesories buts that usually only at idle. altenator are designed to spin a minmum speed with u/d pulleys your are pushing that minmun at idle

i wanted to also say that the u/d pulley problem is mostly found on the foxes and can be fixed with an aftermarket performance altenator

So when your battery is completly drained, you just jump and and let your alt. charge the battery? And people wonder why their alternators go out.

In answer to your question though, yes I would. I'd jump it and go if I needed to. If it dies at home I'll toss it on the charger if I can. You don't want to run your alternator at full load all the time, but it's probably not going to burn up after just once. We drained the snot of our batteries when we used the winches 4wheeling and alternators were never a real problem any more than with non-winch rigs. Batteries were a whole other story though.
Big stereos can cause a fairly constant high current drain on the charging system and will burn up an alternator more quickly especially if your underhood temps run high. Heat = Death
