First if the starter is bad the car will not start, if it will not start it can not charge the battery.
If the starter will not work it can mean there is an electrical problem that will also prevent the alternator from charging the battery
The starter itself CAN NOT CAUSE CHARGING PROBLEMS!
The extra load on the battery can ruin the battery and that can ruin the alternator. But before that NO.
What else can I help you with?
What could keep a 1992 buick reagal custom from charging the battery after new battery and new alternator put in?
Check a for a blown/burned out fuseable link between starter and alternator
What does charging system mean?
All cars have a battery make the electrical components function. The charging system consists of a battery,starter an alternator and a voltage regulator. The battery turns the starter over causing the engine to run. As the engine is running the alternator produces electricityto keep it running. The voltage regulator keeps the current regulated so that the battery does not overcharge. ok, the forst answer was nearly correct except the starter motor is not part of the charging systm. the charging sytem consists of, the battery, the alternator,or generator,and thevoltage regulator. the voltage regulator is sometimes built into the alternator on newer cars ,where as they all used to be an extra equipment bolted onto firewall or inside fender
Could a bad coil keep the alternator from charging the battery?
Yes, because a bad coil will not allow the engine to run. But if the engine is running then the coil has nothing to do with the alternator charging the battery.
What is the role of a Alternator Repairer?

IF the fusible link has "fused" [opened up, melted apart] it will not keep the alternator from working, BUT it will prevent the battery from receiving the charge.
How can I test my alternator to see if it is discharging my battery?
You can have the alternator tested free of charge at just about any major auto parts store. By the way, a bad alternator will not "discharge" a battery - the alternator's function is to provide the charge to the battery. If the alternator is faulty, then it is not providing the charge necessary to keep other components from discharging the battery. I had the alternator tested and it was charging. If the alternator has a bad diode, it will discharge the battery. I replaced the alternator and everything is fine.

Why does the battery voltage fluctuate from 14.4 volts to 12.6 volts and back again while driving?
The battery in your car does not constantly charge while driving. Electricity is needed to run the headlights, starter, radio, etc. In order to save wear on the alternator/generator, the battery is sometimes used to power these electrical devices as your car's internal sensors see fit. When the battery's charge drops below a certain voltage, the alternator kicks in again to keep the battery at its optimum level.
Why does your battery gauge keep dropping to zero on your 2003 Monte Carlo after you have just replaced the battery?
