Default Alternator output?

Hello!

I don't use my car very much and it's parked in a car park without power so I keep taking it for a drive every week or so to keep the battery topped up.

I'm curious to know how long a drive I have to do to get the battery fully charged - whether an hour is enough, of if I should do longer (which is never a really a problem!). Does anyone know how many amps per hour the alternator puts back into a battery after powering the ignition/radio/lights etc?

Thanks!
