A lot of the "hard starting" problem with Land Rovers in the winter (read "COLD" weather) is not lack of power in the battery so much as trying to suck air through almost frozen oil in the air cleaner. Swap to a paper element or something like a K&N. I left the stock intake hose in place and mounted a big round K&N in place of the oil bath and zap strap it to the bracket for the original cleaner. --Presto--- easier winter starting!
Generator or Alternator? An alternator NEEDS some juice to start charging. A generator doesn't even need a battery hooked up to start or charge and run your vehicle. No battery or dead battery and you can still push start your generator equiped Land Rover. In the same situation with an alternator you are dead in the water till you get a charge to excite it to begin the charge cycle.
