Hey guys, Here is my issue: The car won't charge the battery when it is idle and without any electricity consuming devices switched on. When I turn on the lights or the A/C it starts charging. Also when I rev the car up, it starts charging, but sometimes it stops and then starts again without...

Understood. Thanks guys
