    has my alternator seized or my engine?

    Power packs are the nuts , they usually give waaay more power than the battery in the car . Mine gives out 1100 cranking amps which is enough to start a 700 odd HP scania , so it manages my honda just fine when it has been sat for a few weeks unused .
