otrfun,
Back when I first had a 2500 watt inverter, I'd often run the water heater on electric. I monitored voltage when doing so and when it reached 12.2 I'd shut down and allow the battery bank to recover. I found I could sustain a 1:3 where I'd run the heater for 20 minutes and then leave it off for 40 minutes.
I'm still on the OEM alternator.
