I think he means that when he starts the engine. ( cranking the engine) the alternator is trying to charge the battery. En continues charging when the engine is fired but running a fraction of a second under idle speed. He wants to waith with activating the alternator until the engine is ideling right.

I already had an idea for a swith to deactivate the actuator of the alternator before fire up the engine. And start charging a few miles further down the road when the enginen is getting hotter instead of cold.

I only dont know how to do this.
