So you feel that even a 20A DC/DC charger would be too hard on the Alternator? The Renogy units actually allow for an accessory wire to be run, when powered it will reduce the charger output to 10A. My truck is an older Toyota diesel so uses pretty limited power once started. I believe they came...
