GOOD MAN!!

Various RPM's for "exciting" the alternator - kind of like a woman... they're all different!

Typically 1300 or so should get 'er done -- and you only need "blip" the rpm's up there to get 'er started (unlike a woman)... So if you can take it to 2000 and hold it a minute -- then you'll be sure it's started charging. It only takes once per "start" to kick it in -- then the internal regulator takes over.
