Why not have the big engine just turn off when its not in use? The small engine could easily handle the accessory load while burning less extra fuel than the big engine idling.
Yes that is the tread that give me the idea, how would I keep all the electrical system online though if the main engine is off? Nothing would work electrically if its off.....and I agree that the large engine would absolutely drink gas at idle (It mean it makes over 400 TQ and near 300hp off idle lol!) Oh and if you think that a pure electric secondary system is better please say so
