You can use oil pressure to activate the self-holder, which will continue to provide power until the engine is shut down again. A freshman electrical engineering student knows how to wire a self-holding relay.
The only time a 100 amp alternator would even approach supplying its full output to the battery would be during a deliberate load test using a carbon-pile battery load tester to confirm the capacity of the alternator. If you had an ounce of practical experience to go with your theoretical pipe dreams, you would already know that. Jerry
