Alternators charge at 13.7 volts and that might be too high for a fuel pump or the cars puter ?
On a side note, a lot of car starters can be programed to start the vehicle every hr or what ever. If you can't plug in, this could be pretty handy.

If the battery was done, the alternator would put out more volts trying to charge it. His description sounds like its not putting out enough power to deliver spark, hence the long boost time and flooring it.
