Grounding an electrical or electronics device commonly refers connecting it's power inlet ground pin to the ground connection of the power outlet. The power outlet ground connects to the ground connection provided by the electricity utility company or the building's common ground connection. The grounding essentially provides a zero volt reference. Many systems which have a metal chassis provide specific grounding points with screws/nuts to connect grounding wire. To ground chassis of a computer one need to connect ground wire to the metal case.

Do you need the ground prong for a computer cord?

The ground prong is connected to the computer chassis, including the outside of the power supply module. This is a safety feature to ensure that the metal case of the computer and power supply never becomes dangerously electrified in the event of a loose wire. Modifying the power cord not to have a ground prong would violate electrical codes intended to prevent accidental electrocution. That said, the ground prong is not essential for the normal operation of the computer, and the computer will still function without it. Proceed at your own risk.

The voltage regulator for the alternator is in the computer. If the voltage regulator in the computer does not work, you can add an external voltage regulator and then your battery will charge normally. Make sure to check the ground on the computer. If the ground is bad on the computer, then the computer will not regulate the voltage to the alternator properly.
