Back in the day we ran a alternator, under driven, charged up for Friday nite then ran Sat and Sunday, had no battery charger at track, 12 volt system. Never a problem starting or running. Let the fan motor run awhile, spray it down, set around waiting with no hassles for the next round, everyone else like ants on candy. Same procedure I'll use on the new car.
Might add, main purpose was to keep 13 volts to run the components not to keep battery charged, alt ran everything, not the bat. Bat just for starting.
