Jumpstarting...can it kill alternator?

The broken link is how does the alternator “wanting” to put out max output cause heat? I can see an alternator actualy putting out max output cause heat but just “wanting” too, leaves me scratching my head.

As a tech I expect you to identify exactly what part of the alternator is “burned up” vague statements are to be expected from the general public but you should know better.People read what you write and you are held to a higher standard than the layman.
