I have a new LION ut1300 battery. It can take a charge at 100 amps. So lets say I am running down the road and I have the generator on so there are two charging sources heck lets throw in solar too. So there are three sources of charging.
Alternator generator/converter and solar. Is there a problem. I don't think so, but any advice from those that know and could explain how this works would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Two answers. If the LION can take 100 amps charge and the total charge current is less 100 amps or less with all the charge sources in parallel. No problem
If it's over 100 amps. problem so you may need a charge controller with multiple inputs (Some LION battery systems have this built in)
Now. the other item.. Generally only one or two of those sources will provide nearly all the charge current
If the Converter (Generator powered charger Is at 14 volts and the engine alternator is 14.2 Guess which one is doing the work? (hint not the lower voltage device)
