So, I have a Roadtrek 2015 Sprinter Van and my system consists of 8-AGM batteries in a 24 volt and 12 volt split system. (see photo diagram).
I have an electrical background so I understand amps/volts/watts etc. I am NOT familiar with Lifepo4 battery setups at this point. The question I have at this point is this: The engine has a 24 volt (3500 watt) under the hood generator in addition to the regular 12 volt engine alternator and I am looking for ways to charge the Lifepo4 battery bank with this generator. I know it puts out a too high voltage to properly charge them. So,I was thinking maybe along the lines of a 24v DC-DC converter with an adjustable voltage regulator. Does anyone know of a product like this? Or would just a new regulator off the generator that works with Lifpo4's?..... I appreciate any help at all. I sure am glad Will put together this forum! Thanks again Mike WG7D
