Iv been trying to read more about the dc to dc charger for alternators and I get mixed messages.  I am wondering how much of this is due to how people are using them and not having the most optimized builds for it.  From what iv read if I had a normal older van with its original alternator or a...

I would never use the DC to DC charger and alternator with the AC running. It would only be when driving from point A to point B and using the trucks built in AC. So no idling the engine either. With DC to DC charger iv read that it is not as bad on the alternator as long as you are not...
