 ===== alternator charging =====
-Unless the alternator's output voltage is dropped with an external regulator the charging voltage will probably be high enough to damage your LFP cells.
+Unless the alternator's output voltage is reduced it can be high enough to damage your LFP cells (ie, > 13.8v).
