 There is an [[electrical:12v:drop-in_lifepo4#mythyou_must_use_dc-dc_for_alternator_charging_li|often-repeated claim]] that LiFePO4 house banks will pull always monstrous levels of  current and destroy alternators if a plain [[electrical:12v:alternator|isolator]] is used instead of a [[electrical:12v:b2b|DC-DC charger]]. This claim is not supported by empirical testing. The data below provide **actual measurements** to help people make informed decisions.  We will see that **current demand by LFP banks follows a known formula** rather than the opinions of people on the internet.
