Alternator: How many batteries can it take?
I have a diesel, so two batteries for truck, there are two 6-volt for the Truck Camper, and I want to put a deep cycle battery in the cargo trailer. The Camper does have 200 watt solar to charge it...

Some alternators with internal voltage regulation might be able to protect themselves when they get too hot when feeding depleted batteries through thick cabling. Some others may not.
Don't assume yours is thermally protected against overheating, and those that are, usually contribute to the premature demise of batteries they are charging.
