I used to have a spare alternator on my 1966 GTO. I blew the front bearing out so often that I got the bracket for that Pontiac 389 CID engine with an AC compressor, which required the Alternator to moved to the other side of the engine. Over rev the alternator, stop, remove the fan belt and plug from the bad alternator, plug it into the spare and install the fan belt on that side. A one minute or less repair on the side of the road. I also used #1 AWG welding cable on the main battery to reduce the voltage drop.
On other vehicles I've had a dual charging system and a pair of the biggest batteries that would fit under the hood. Need a jump? Flip a switch to tie the two batteries together with a starter solenoid and start the engine.
