THis thread is a goldmine- I never understood any of this until now.
I was recently educating myself on bigger alternators, double pulley and whatnot and i had an idea-
What if you put a 30 amp charge controller between the alternator and the battery? Maybe a second one for the house batteries?
There are cheap ones on amazon, apparently they take whatever incoming voltage they get, like from a solar array, and output proper charging voltage for a variety of battery types.
I'm thinking this device would not care if it got input voltage from an alternator.
The automobile charging system is designed to replenish the drain from car starting as quickly as possible but that's not good for the battery or the belts and is not necessary on a vehicle that's always used for long trips.
