After a night of dry camping, it is really nice to have our battery bank automatically recharge as we roll down the road. Right now, our stock Ford alternator does a great job of getting our (4) AGM batteries back up to speed as we drive.
If a rich uncle dies, we might someday be able to afford 4 new lithium batteries. I can flip a switch on my Aimscorp inverter/charger to reconfigure the charging voltage, but what about the alternator? It just occurred to me that the alternator voltage won't be an exact match for lithium.
Would the entire alternator need to be replaced? and the BIM, too?
Does it matter all that much for up to 10 hours of straight through driving?
Does anybody know?
