Before I ordered the DC-DC charger I bought I spoke with the tech at BB and he said that as far as he was concerned the "sweet spot" (his term, not mine) for charging BB Lithium batteries was 40-45...

I worry about a lot, but this is not one of those things I am worried about. I assume that the various devices are designed to work properly when several of them are active. It is only...

Our RV is on a Ford chassis but I assume what you wrote about the MB alternator applies to the Ford as well.

That touches on a basic question of mine. Assuming that I am driving and have a DC-DC controller, there is charging input from both the alternator and the solar panels. Do both charge simultaneously?...

Yes. That is the basic question, isn't it. :laugh:



I assume there is also the question of whether or not the lithium batteries ever get fully charged. The alternator output is 13.6 volts or...

Among the many things I do not know is what the average alternator output is, but the one in my Fuse can output 210 amps. Unless I misunderstood (which is always possible) the BB tech mentioned 100...
