Replaced alternator,car is more responsive?

I replaced my alternator & my car seems to be more responsive. Am I crazy or will the car not charging affect performance?

I did not think one thing had to do with another, just wanted to make sure. Thank you for verifying I'm crazy lol.

On my previous 98 maxima I remember when my alternator was replaced under a recall, my car felt much peppier afterwords. What did it maybe the old ALT had a bad regulator so all the circuits weren't getting quite the right voltage, some ground connections cleaned. Who knows, but it was definitely something.
