Battery charged by alternator.

I went to Wilco today with the intention of buying an Exide batterybecause I didn't think my 8 month old one was working as well as itshould. The technician said to me the following which I have neverheard of before. If a battery is 50% charged when it is put onto a carit will never be more than 50% charged if the car has an alternator.The only way to fully charge a battery on a car with an alternator isto trickle charge it. Now I have never come across this before so isthis true or BS?pete

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember snipped-for-privacy@hotmail.com saying something like:

You need to find an area further away for kerb crawling to put more of a charge in.
