   * Only alternator charge while driving ([[rv:idling|no idling]] except for brief preliminary test).
   * Pay attention while charging from alternator to keep from overcharging the Li or holding for long periods at high [[electrical:depth_of_discharge|states of charge]]. You may want [[electrical:12v:alternator#disabling_alternator_charging|a manual disconnect]] or [[electrical:12v:alternator_charging_hvd|HVD]] to shut off alternator charging due to excess voltage or if the bank is already charged.  These can be added on the D+ wire (ignition triggered) or electronics ground wire (VSR, solenoid, or voltage-triggered DC-DC)
-  * Fuse the wiring from the chassis so the bank cannot pull more than you specify
+  * if current is excessive but you want to direct-charge, you can tweak acceptance with resistance or voltage as seen elsewhere in this article
-  * if current is higher than you want consider adding resistance to the circuit
