Hey guys! I have a 12V, 100Ah, LiFePo4 battery and want to charge it through my alternator. I bought an isolator cutting in at 13,3V and out at 12,8V so I won't drain my starter battery while using the house battery. However, I'm concerned that my alternator will blow up when driving because my lithium battery draws too much amps. I've been looking into DC/DC chargers, however the different Victron DC/DC chargers seems to limit the power to 9A and 30A (based on the one you buy of course..). Isn't this very low? Since most alternators are around 150A? And will I still need my isolator if I buy a DC/DC charger? Electric guys please help
