That alternator protection is pure snake oil. All voltage above 13 volts is created by the alternator. How on earth does this device protect the alternator from itself? Complete nonsense for an RV.
No clue except that Li load dumping which might not do that ?
I only posted about that device as a possible example of alternator protection; AFAIK BB did not sell one to the fellow with the C.
They did sell him the Sterling DC-DC. He posted something about it doing surge protection for the alternator (his post linked earlier from the C thread)
Sorry for the mix-up. It boils down to learning why BB said his C needed one with the BB house batts. He said he doesn't know and just trusts BB
Over here in Tech Issues, we want to know why about everything :)
So does everyone with Li House batts need one if there is alternator charging with his set-up? Why or why not? Only those with regen braking? Then must you do it via Ignition as mentioned in that blurb, or does that not apply to an RV but only to boats? If you don't use the Ignition method in the RV, then how can it do its job? ( Whatever its job is!)
