Question for Lynwod and Daryles. Should I be concerned about damaging my Alternator. I guess I could disable the charging through the BMS.
I was just reading the GMC forum on this subject. There's a 30 amp fuse that will prevent the alternator from overcharging. I've been pulling this rig with lithium for almost a year. No problems.

Tony if you are only truck charging your batteries via your seven way umbilical, then current trucks can only charge at a max of about 7 amps when connected.
With that said, since LiFePo4 batteries can indeed readily accept a very high charge rate, several of us are running DC to DC chargers to supply higher charge rate safely while also protecting our alternators. Daryles has a very good write write up on this. I charge my batteries at 40 amps when traveling.
