Trying to figure out how to manage lithium with alternator.
Here's my setup
680ah LifePO4 Coach Batteries
2 - 100ah AGM Chassis Batteries
1200 watts solar charging Coach Batteries
100 watt solar charging Chassis Batteries
8kw Generator Charging both Chassis/Coach Batteries
Engine Alternator Charging both Chassis.Coach Batteries
Currently managed with Precision Circuits Battery Isolation Manager
So I would like to just disconnect the Alternator charging of the Coach Batteries, or manage their charge demand somehow. I know there is a Li-BIM and Victron DC-DC charger, but I'm not sure how to use either of those with the current Precision Circuits BIM. The current set-up manages the generator charge for both banks and allows for bridging the two banks together with a dash switch if needed.
Anyone gone down this path?
