-If the alternator can only safely provide 50A of charging to the house bank this would limit us to a 166Ah AGM bank (166Ah x 0.33 = 50A).
+If the alternator can only safely provide 50A of charging to the house bank this would limit us to a 166Ah AGM bank (166Ah x 0.33 = 50A). If the alternator has excess capacity then a larger bank can accept more current.  This doesn't mean the bank would get full any faster((it's larger, after all)) but you will gather more Ah/Wh on any given run.
