Charging System

I have a few questions, I will start a few new threads.

When I first start my truck, the battery meter jumps around, flucuating from 1/4 to 1/2 way up the meter. After about 2 minutes this stops and it runs level smooth. It seems like the radio etc. doesn't run till it hits that smooth point.

Anybody else seen that before or is this just no big deal.
