Our motorhome's 130 amp Ford engine alternator completely charges our RV's battery bank with only 3-5 hours of driving between destinations. How can an engine alternator charge better than a good multi-stage battery charger?
I boondock a LOT, and getting them to 100% is near impossible with solar/generator. The Absorb phase takes too long - shore power is the only reasonable solution.
That said, I'm not sure what the poster means by 'full enough.'
