Re: DC-DC Charging ?

There’s more than one way to configure it, but for the most part it’s a parallel scenario, and often* necessary to protect the alternator when using LiFePo4 batteries - Why?? Because of (if one dare believe Victron, et al...) LFP’s high current receptivity...Also, for newer vehicles, the dc to dc converter needs to be ‘Smart Alternator’ or Euro 5&6 compatible...

*depending on components and load

Here’s an interesting primer on the subject:
