I did not get any detail on why not to use higher amps than 25% charging rate. Just don't do it or get damaged (not clear how damaged and what damage) So no worries for charger size; I will just do what I am told.
So no info on alternator charging since I don't have any amps info on my own set up for that. I can measure that using ordinary house batts and then know the amps. Be a pity if it is over 25 amps, where one emergency move is usually, you can recharge somewhat if needed by running the truck if you don't have a generator and no solar happening. Not a risk for scenario now, but might be in some other scenario.
The company says these are actually like AGM batteries only with silicon, so not "Gel" batteries as mentioned above. Not sure that matters any. A short note on plates etc here:

When I get mine, I can check out some charging characteristics within the 25 amp limit (time in Bulk especially) and voltage drop running the MW. Perhaps also how long it can run the MW before reaching 20% SOC and if that stays above 11v inverter alarm the whole way down.
