| - make the first test run a brief one and with the Li well-charged.((higher states of charge will reduce current demand)) Start the engine and see if the charging current((per the BMS, [[electrical:12v:battery_monitor|battery monitor]], or [[https://amzn.to/3Vt8Jhh|clamp meter]])) and voltage is acceptable. Check to see chassis voltage and engine RPM remain stable((do not drop precipitously anything longer than a moment while alternator output adjusts)) and belts do not squeal. Turn off the engine. |
- make the first test run a brief one and with the Li fairly well charged.((higher states of charge will typically lessen current demands to some degree))((if you have paralleled batteries you might want to do this step with just one in place to get a feel for the draw.)) Start the engine and see if the charging current and voltage is acceptable. See if chassis voltage remains stable. Turn off the engine. | - if solar or other charging source is present, disconnect other chargers and repeat #1.((other chargers will push up apparent bank voltage, which would decrease current demanded of the alternator)) |
- test it with a drive. | - repeat steps with the Li bank at lower and lower states of charge, down to the lowest state of charge you expect to recharge from alternator. |
- repeat the last two steps with the Li bank at lower and lower states of charge, down to the lowest state of charge you expect to recharge from alternator. | |
