Pre-charging 12v battery?

Hi there,

Have an '03 Honda Element (with Honda's two-stage alternator system). Been looking at what we can do WRT alternator disabling for a road trip car, but as a small easy thing - would charging the 12v battery via a grid charger before every trip reduce the load on the alternator // improve FE? We'd be happy to just plug in the Element before/after each drive if so!

Thx,
