Hello.
First post to this forum. Its a fantastic resource but I did not quite find this specific topic.
Im converting an old highway coach (bus) which has a very high power 24v oil cooled alternator designed to output well over 200amps continuously.
Im stuck on how to safely (current limit) utilize this capacity without resorting to the amperage limitations and expense of a DC-DC charge controller.
There are some interesting alternator voltage regulators available but apparently without current monitoring ability.
Any ideas on how battery charge could be current limited?
