+ | - 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)) | ||

- | - 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.)) | ||
