Both make good points - I have a 300W pure sine wave inverter that I've used for years to run my CPAP, and until my solar/lithium upgrades a few years ago could barely squeak through the night, and that was with the humidifier turned off. Forget also running the furnace. That was with 50W solar...

Thanks for the suggestion, Jon R - I did a bit of checking and it seems that running Victrons in parallel is fine.

Thanks! Some background: I'm doing a major camper upgrade from my 2005-era Tacoma/FWC Eagle to a 2023 F350/Flatbed Granby. As a side effect of various options, I'll end up with a dual alternator, dual battery system under the hood (gas engine). Ford says the alternator is 400 Amps, I'm not sure...

Good question, interesting idea, I'm not sure that they'd play well together - combined with the battery's internal management system it seems like a lot of controllers interacting primarily based on the voltage at the battery's terminals. Something to ask Victron about, I think.

Thanks!

Thanks!

This is a couple of years old - still feel the same way? I like Victron well enough, but I'm looking for more than 30A capacity in a DC-DC charger (looking at charging 270 AH of lithium battery as quickly as possible from a 400 Amp alternator). Any suggestions? Thanks!

New here, looking for expert/experienced thoughts about DC-DC chargers and supply wire gauge. It seems to me that the concern is voltage drop, but not functionally for charging (which it is for a simple battery isolator), Rather, it is heat in the wires, which in extreme cases can cause...
