To safely trickle charge a lithium battery pack, whilst driving, in conjunction with a roof mounted PV array, on a motorhome, can the output of this(see below):
(safely) be connected to the genset 240v input connection of this:
For details, the alternator of the motorhome(converted bus) puts out 180A as manufactured. Battery bank 48v 600Ah lifepo4, never discharged below 30% capacity.
Thinking was, that the 'plug in inverter' handles the safety aspect of drawing from the vehicle alternator/battery, only when the ignition switch is on and the All-in-one, handles the safety aspect of charging the battery pack. Maybe not the most efficient, but on a 6 hour drive, every little helps ;-))
Anybody guess whether the 300W plug in inverter would be too much draw from a 180A alternator output (it appears to be designed for continuous use for using laptops etc in a car), especially at idle speed(at traffic lights etc)
OR...Does any genset that is connected to the All-in-one', need to be matched to the inverter output, ie a 5KW inverter must have a 5KW output genset???
When inexperienced, there are just so many questions......lol.
