You can still operate it "whenever you need it" and it still be considered
"intermitant", because you don't operate it on every flight. The worse
thing that happens is that you pull the extra electical power out of the
battery for a little while. That said, it's alway nicer to have all the
alternator capacity you need in every situation.
