    How long does it take Automatic Charging Relay to charge 1000 AH battery setup. or do ineed 2nd alternator

    actually no high idle, blue sea has a charging relay, primary objective is charge the starter battery, then does the house/rv battery. This may give warm up time. Other sprinter vanlifers recommend it. Are you suggesting I go to a dual setup with a balmer voltage regulator?
