“ I'm not saying your specific installation is risking your battery. I'm saying, from what I've learned from others, that you can't just drop in an a DIY LFP battery and expect it to charge from your alternator without making some changes.”
I agree that it needs to be considered, but so long as the alternator capacity pencils out it to say 30% for continuous down the road charging it can be doable - just another data point in the vagaries of one’s considerations - in my anecdotal scenario I see no necessity to bother with the alternator because harvest has proven sufficient and swift - this, yet a third option worth one’s consideration...
BTW, the most amps I’ve ever seen my 200a/hr drop-in draw was 70a (on shore power with a 100a charger) but typically closer to 55-60a...It routinely charges quite easily with 440w of solar...
