Hi,
When you did this, did you:
A) Start the engine while the 50 AMP charger is still connected and charging
or
B) Connect the 50 AMP charger, wait few mins, disconnect the 50 AMP charger then start the engine
Thanks.

If
"A" insert credit card. (This quiz was too easy). Now if anyone says "yes" they did, then read below:
If this option is selected and you will "shock" the electrical system, all bets are off on everything surviving the surge. Alt, regulator, control module, etc. Kind of like jump starting car A while car B is running or is at a high high RPM. This is another automotive skill no longer taught in high schools.
Winter is coming so this will be a daily event in office parking lots all over the Rust Belt. Repair shops love the business.
