Masters degree credit available for alternator charging question
It may simply reflect the engine alternator not able to put out significant amps at low idle speed -- or the voltage regulator is failing to 'kick in' until revs are up a bit. The controlling device is the voltage regulator associated with the alternator.
Some alternators have internal voltage regulators and others have external regulators. I'll leave it to someone with a model more contemporary to yours to comment on what's likely on your FC. Keep in mind, a previous owner may have replaced the alternator (and voltage regulator) at some point, making yours no longer match the OEM arrangement. It is unlikely, but if you have a sophisticated inverter/charger control module (such as the Heart Link 2000 R as installed (after market) in my coach) the charging from the alternator would be controlled by that device instead of the normal regulator.
