Frage Re:Re:Bimobil Huksy 240 (Navara 2013) - upgrade to LiFePO4 battery

Going through the Calira manual I have found that it controls/limits the charging current to the service battery (Battery 2) to 16A - image below.
To be honest, having a smart alternator made me think that there had to be a control of some sort on charging current.
Now this seems to confirm it.

So this also solves the issue of the potential generator overload.
I know that this charger does not have the right profile for LiFePO4, but as BiMobil mentions, the cap at 14.4V will at least not damage them.
And then with the Victron MPPT that I will install I can provide better charging when I am not driving.

Does this make sense?
 

Hello, I'm trying.
It was as usual a picture (of the Calira manual) whose upload for whatever reason failed.

The edit function is unfortunately not available for that comment.

Ich habs gelöscht.

Nö, 14,4V konstant ist doch ok. Wenn Batterie voll, dann fließt eben kein Strom mehr.

Hi all,

A big question at this point for me is: do you think that the Calira is able to provide a limited current of 16A regardless of the state of charge of the battery (almost like a DCDC charger)?

This is what I understand reading the manual (image attached by BiMobil), and it would make sense if this navara comes with a smart alternator.

In this case, with fix 16A, I would no longer worry of overloading the alternator!

Reading the charge section on the manual I though that the 16A charging current applied both to alternator charge and 230V charge (shore).

Maybe I misunderstood.
