We don't have solar but have 3 Lithium Ion house batteries, 4 starting batteries for the engine (24 volt) and one battery for the generator. We have four 3,500 watt inverters, four alternators on the engine that will allow us to use four roof airs without the generator running going down the road.

Wow, Mr Mark you could power a small town. Just curious, on a hot day with all air conditioners running and climbing a hill do the alternators sap enough power to notice a lack of power to the wheels?
Anyway your post explains a lot. My boat has a similar configuration whereas the alternators will charge the house batts while underway. My boat refrig is DC/AC so no need for an inverter though I have one.
What I didn't know is if the current from the alternator could be directed to either or both the house and engine start batts. Sounds like it can. Is there a selector switch to direct this current?
