Hello,
I found this video from off-grid garage reviewing a SEPLOS BMS.
It seems like it has a configurable active current limiting feature. He describes it as PWM circuit.
A battery with something like this should solve most alternator related concerns correct? Two main things kill alternators:
1. Rapid disconnect (instead of limiting)
2. Prolonged running at max capacity and slowly overheating.
When the BMS controls the current into the cells is adjustable - could just put a clamp meter on the alternator - turn on everything in the vehicle - and then increase the charge rate to something below the rating of the Alternator.
