but can't the alternator fully re-charge the battery as well if you drive for a long period of time?

I was once told that trying to charge a battery that's been deep-discharged by running it on the road can be tough on the alternator. I believe it can overheat the alternator and in the worst case, fry it.

Screw the charger - if it's less than one year old, take it in and get a new one for free, but I wouldn't tell them what you did to it.
