Lithium batteries and alternator protection.
The six 6 volt lead-acid house batteries in my class A DP have gone bad. I am looking to replace them with 6 Battleborn 100Ah 12v LiFePO batteries. Eventually I will be adding solar. I am not look...

I have monitored alternator voltage on all my trucks and they never have gone below 14.2, my 2013 used to run a little higher at about 14.4. Same voltage when I start the truck and the same voltage over a seven hour drive. I have a volt meter on the dash.
I agree, depending on the voltage drop in the 7-pin circuit. You could still over charge the LifeP04 if the 7- pin doesn’t have enough voltage drop.
What I don’t agree on is the blanket statement that most all newer vehicles have smart alternators systems. If the Chevy diesels have it my last two trucks have been broken.
