At least for half an hour, no stop starting, an dont use any electrical equipment if you can avoid doing so.

It should recharge sufficient after about 1/2 an hour to be certain of starting the engine again. Do not run all the electronics in the car whilst you motor or it will be longer.

in short no because of the fact the battery makes use of a chemical reaction between the acid and the plates even nonetheless while the water out of your freezer is frozen then defrosted this is going to become de-ionised and then may be used to good up the electrolyte while that's low in an unsealed battery

If it was completely flat it wont charge at all since alternators require field excitation before they will do anything... put on a battery charger first then it will charge

point about jumpstarting ... connect the leads and let the doner car put a bit of power into other battery BEFORE trying to start.
also do'nt disconect cars straight away, it puts to big a load on alternator

its a myth that it charges - the alternator only provides enough charge to meet running requirements, it doesnt actually charge the battery by any significant amount. only answer is to remove battery and charge properly

You bring it to a parts store to have it charged unless you want to kill your alternator. The alternator is not made to re-charge the battery it's made to keep it charged.

Half hour at 60kph will do the trick.
