Charging batteries with the engine
Hi all. I have a 2011 triple e senator 25d. Great motor home. E450 v10. Just curious, what is the output of the alternator vs the standard converter? It seems to charge the house batteries...

The rated output of the alternator is just one factor, the speed at which the alternator turns makes a huge difference also.
Under SAE J56 standards the ‘rated’ output of the alternator is at 6,000 RPM.
Most automotive alternators are designed to give a pretty solid output at about 2,000 RPM but don’t give much current at idle.
