Has anyone actually experienced corrosion caused by a common negative (neutral) using the chassis?
I know the theory that a DC-DC (B2B) charger based on common negative using the chassis instead running negative cables could cause some corrosion. Of course, this could only occur under very high current and probably with dicey connection somewhere. Some DC-DC chargers allow pretty high continuous current
The reason I ask is I've never actually seen it happen (corrosion that is), and the alternator is grounded to the chassis via the negative strap anyway.
I'm not asking about the inverter, this I'm assuming would always be connected to the battery by two short and thick cables.
