SD charging question

A good friend called with a "85"SD question. The GPs stay on for +- 2.5 minutes after the car starts and the alternator wont keep up with the draw resulting in a dead battery. his wife is running around doing errands in town and the battery will soon be dead with all the stopping and starting. The GPs shouldn't stay on for that long after the car starts, right?? Bad GP relay?
