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...

If you are simply recharging your house batteries, current (amps) DOE NOT MATTER MUCH (unless you are in a hurry to put a big bulk charge into your house batteries).
The MOST important thing is HOW MUCH VOLTAGE IS RECEIVED AT THE HOUSE BATTERY CONNECTION ! More amps does NOT help this issue. On most vehicles, there is NOTHING you can do to a standard charging system that will really help. Larger wire helps a little.
The bottom line, YOU WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO COMPLETELY RECHARGE A HOUSE BATTERY BANK BE HOOKING IT UP TO A VEHICLE CHARGING SYSTEM !
