Is anyone aware of a way for me to charge my house bank (24volt Lifepo4) using my alternators (32 volt alternator and 32 volt starting bank) while underway? I have seen B to B chargers that do this, such as the Renogy and Sterling, but I have not found one that handles 32 volt input.
My backup plan is install an additional direct drive 24 volt alternator on my Detroit Diesels (8v92) but those things cost over $1500 and I would still need the B to B charger. Victron makes a Dc-Dc Converter with the right voltages but it is only 12 amps and, I assume, doesn't have the ability for multi stage charging.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
