I am an early-on experimenter with lithium. Being in the electronics industry for a long time, I've seen my fair share of how new technology operates. No one knows anything about the latest iteration of what's new and the marketers capitalize on this and flood the market with equipment not everyone needs. Same with photography equipment over the years and what's being sold to "make you a great photographer".
The Victron video is what everyone rides on these days to sell B2B and I've seen enough people not using them that aren't having issues so that's what drives me personally to better figure out this archictecture. Unfortunatly the diverstity of equipment out there including how each alternator performs causes each implementation to be a different science project. The easy solution is to say "pay $300 for a B2B that produces 25A", then you say "but I'm already charging my Lead/Acid at 60A and I thought I was improving my charging profile while going lithium and that's not what I call improvement", then they say "well buy the $1200 Victron that charges at up to 80A" and I say "I don't want to buy the $1200 Victron combo" and we are then at a stalemate.
I am going to test my setup a little more and then make my decision.
