Grover, I believe you're on the right track if your new batteries have a built in charge controller. As far as alternators not being able to fully charge house batteries, that's non-ยข. A steady charge at 14 volts for a full day of driving will fully charge lead/acid house batteries. If you are concerned about over heating you alternator with Li batteries, why not put a temperature sensor on the alternator before and after the battery change and see what happens. I see so much hype about burning out alternators but no solid evidence.

This is true. Your engine control computer, or what ever you want to call it, is what is controlling the alternator output by battery voltage over time. I believe this is being over-though. Lithium biased batteries have a max. discharge and charge rate, in amps. Exceeding either will damage or destroy them. Its your money, you seem to have a grasp on realty. Make your choice biased on you knowledge.
