Have started it several times since, and no further problems. So, I guess I just need to keep an eye on it to see if the problem returns, and see if Summit will take the new alternator back. Thanks to all posters for your help and advice.

It sounds like an internal regulator problem. Chances are that it'll return. I'd swap out the alternators and never look back.
