Donald, for test purposes and too keep the batteries charged without a panel, go for it. But be sure to use your charge controller off the 24 volt alternator to ensure proper voltage and to avoid over charging and rapid charging of the batteries. Check the current output of the alternator first before hooking it up to your charge controller and be careful that the current output is below the rating of the controller..
