Alternator and house batteries
While we’re sitting here watching the world go by...
Yesterday, I posed (and you folks answered perfectly) the question about the inverter. So - we drove for about 8 hours with the inverter on and the fridge powered. We were smiling as we cruised down the highway...
When we stopped last night and I checked the batteries before firing up the gen, the gauge (lights, actually) showed that the batteries were only half charged.
I was assuming that the V’s alternator would charge the house batteries on the fly.
Did we screw up by doing this? Or doesn’t the alternator keep up with battery power depletion?
