The problem is your alternator is going to be pissed off if it's running at idle speeds all day, and still trying to keep the battery charged while you're pulling an 80 amp load on it. Most alternators are designed to operate above idle speeds. Sure they can work at idle, and it might get you by in a short emergency... but it's probably not a great idea.
