We have an early 2013 WK2 . I was told due to the variable rate alternator it would not charge aux batteries without a DC-DC charger by several people as well .
So we tried our old trusty Redarc SBI12 from our WG , with 6 B+S wiring to both the 2nd battery in the cargo area & to the anderson plug for the 3rd battery on the camper trailer also wired up with 6B+S . All 3 batteries charge fine on the road.
Remember the Grands have a VRLA AGM battery in them anyway , if the alternator is only pushing out 11-12 volts it would never charge the starting battery properly anyway .
The other point one auto electrician pointed out , with the agm battery & the other electronics on very late model cars , is the alternator is variable for a reason & detects added load (Well the ECU does ) .
This is the same sparky who wired in a resistor on my late model falcon work ute to keep the alternator charge up ,not drop down when the car got to running temp.
