All depends on the output of the alternator...if it puts out 50 amps and the battery is a 50 amp hour battery, then about one hour. But...it probably isn't 50 amps, other things are drawing alt power and your battery was flat dead. So...put a charger on it and charge it until charger says it's done. That depends on the output of the charger. So...end result, your 15 minutes didn't do much. I wouldn't expect my alternator to charge the battery, maintain it but not charge it...I'd put a charger on it. If you haven't got one, you should get one.
