+ | - make the first test run a brief one and with the Li well-charged.((higher states of charge will reduce current demand)) | ||
+ | - if solar or other charging source is present, disconnect those chargers and repeat #1.((other chargers will push up apparent bank voltage, which would decrease current demanded of the alternator)) | ||
+ | - repeat steps above with the Li bank at lower and lower states of charge, down to the lowest state of charge you expect to recharge from alternator. | ||
- | - 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.)) | ||
- | - test it with a drive. | ||
- | - 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. | ||
