www.bcae1.com said a second battery will only help while the engine is off. I was under the impression that it would serve a "buffer" preventing voltage rails when the alt couldnt keep up, like at idle. Am I wrong?

without an isolator, it actually makes charging considerably more difficult for the alternator.

It'll keep the second battery from being connected to the rest of the electrical system while the car isn't charging.
