On a side note,i know most dont read but in most french car manuals from about 2001 its says in very bold print "dont jump start from your battery"

just for refrence so you can tell him alot of cars are getting these alternators now,in a nutshell the alternator decides wot charge it should put to the battery,ie more with lights heater etc on,then cuts back when needed,but if u jump from it it cooks the little black box on the side,and most normally put out close to 16v volts then,and boiling the battery,and they cant be refurbed either
