I have run a few tests today. I could be wrong but I think is the regulator on the actual alternator set to output 40a max. to prevent premature end. Disconnecting shunt increases voltage from 14.65 to 14.78 but current remains the same. Suppose smart vehicle, preventing human from doing...

By factory default pcm set to charge starter battery to 80% if I remove shunt what happens to starter battery charging profile?

How would that effect starter battery ?

I think alternator is limiting output to 40A regardless of victron orion connected or not.

Did you connect 2 Orions in parallel? I have one already connected for a year and it gives me 30a charge, but I thought I could connect a second one to double that up. Unfortunately 40a is the maximum I'm getting atm. Perhaps someone knows a workaround?

Yes I know what you mean. In ford vehicles they also called bms; battery monitor system but probably less advanced see link https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-m&q=ford+transit+bms&oq=ford+transit+bms&aqs=heirloom-srp..0l5

Perhaps I am wrong, but I think called battery monitor system and it's supposed to work with smart alternator by limiting input output... You can switch it on/off via OBD port using software.

Hi, Had one Victron Orion tr smart DC-DC 30A charger for over a year and bought a second one hoping to get 50-60A to lifepo4 batteries while driving. Unfortunately 165A smart alternator only supply 40A at any time. I tried to switch alternator BMS no lack, higher voltage, but 40A output...

Hi, On Jbd Bms app I have usually on but sometime off grey frame around one of the cells while charging or discharging. See picture Anyone have an idea what that could be?
