Charging batteries with the engine
Hi all. I have a 2011 triple e senator 25d. Great motor home. E450 v10. Just curious, what is the output of the alternator vs the standard converter? It seems to charge the house batteries...

Depends, if it has a high output alternator.
If you have just a standard alternator most likely running the charger off the generator will be faster.
If you have a big 300amp continuous output alternator (most automotive alternators put out the rated amount for a short period to replace the motor starting draw then drop way back), it can probably do it faster.
Of course if you are driving anyway, take the free charging.
