one more thing, i have purchased a dc to dc charger to put between the alternator and lithium batteries, yet have not installed it, on my list of things to do. any thoughts on a dc to dc converter? my research leads me to believe this is needed to keep the load off the alternator. my alternator is 120a, the dc to dc i purchased is a 30 amp, i figured that was all i needed. I haven't figured out the correct wiring for it yet. in reading about the LBIM, i wonder if it does what the dc-dc does, i dont need the dc-dc with the LBIM?

No, you didn't miss it; the info never appears as part of a solar project, at least that I've seen.
You should not need a separate DC-DC charger. The LBIM should cover that (according to most specs/info); The DC2DC is a school of thought (preference?). Either is supposed to work but you're not supposed to need both.
