X2, 50a per battery is a conservative rate that’ll never but your pricey batteries at any risk, and the actual receptivity rate will typically be even lower (depending on SOC) ..Due to Li’s high receptivity rate, if you have a decent amount of solar (as a fellow Nevadan - lol) you’ll likely not get much value outta the vehicle’s alternator anyway... I would however be interested to know what brand or model of switchable charger your rig has - would be nice to understand the Li charger’s stated algorithm...Of the one’s I’ve considered, most tend to be of the ‘one size fits all’ variety...JMO
