Yes, Mex, you warned me about that before. I have not forgotten.
Right now I am just trying to "learn my rig" and will decide what to do about what later. I am still pondering this info:

One thing there is that he is going to use the alternator as a power supply for more lights etc, not for faster battery charging (although he thinks maybe, that they are the same thing) As we know, your converter can do its full rated amps as a power supply backing up a battery being drawn down by an inverter, but it most likely cannot provide the same amps when charging a battery with its high R.
