I've searched and am unsure if I'm missing something here. I aim to charge from my F350 dual alternator diesel truck to my truck camper 24v lithium setup (100ah but planning to double this). I have a Victron Orion currently that gets hot and only puts out 10 or so amps and also an eg4 40 amp battery charger for shore power.
My question is:
Could I wire up a 2000w inverter into the cab of my truck with a switch that could turn the inverter on when I'm going for a drive, then run an extension cord to the bed of the truck where I will:
1) be able to have inverter power for random daily tasks
2) plug into the camper 40 amp battery charger to charge the lithium 4x faster than the Orion.
This seems like a bit of a hack way to do it but I don't have space for 4-5 orions which I don't feel is a great product anyway. Would this somehow mess up the alternator? Is there a better solution for high-output alternator charging?
