Steve,
My concerns are for the "drop in" folks who don't realize that LiFePo4 require strict parameters to be met.
Your charging example is one such number. Alternators may (or may not) fail, due to exceeding their duty cycle. My understanding is that a 180 amp alternator (larger than I have) has a continuous rating of about 60 amps. Li are "greedy" and can charge at 1 C. Most folks would want at least 200 amp-hours of storage.
Any battery can be made to work well in an RV and if the end user is knowledgeable LiFePo4 can be marvelous.
I think that anyone following this thread is going to be a happy owner. But for others who don't have inquiring minds.....not so much.
