And gxl_d4d, your engineer mate also had the luxury of designing for a situation where there was plenty of time to be able to fully charge batteries and battery banks.
The very flaw in the claims made by all these wonder device sellers is that they ALWAYS neglect to mention that, like your engineering mates situation, you need a lot more time to allow these wonder devices the time to actually get to a point where they can fully charge a battery.
gxl_d4d, get this correct, I have never stated that these wonder devices can not fully charge batteries, in the right situation, and contrary to what you may think of my posts, I also make the claim that an alternator can NOT fully charge your LOW batteries, for the very same reason DC/DC devices can’t.
The reality is that if you use a lot of power while camped, it is highly unlikely that you will drive long enough fully charge your batteries, no matter what system you use and the misleading advertising claims made by the sellers of these wonder devices is not helping people to get genuine info on how best to set up for their specific needs.
The one thing an alternator can do is replace the greatest amount of used battery capacity in the shortest time.
Again, there are far cheaper options that give far better results than these DC/DC devices do.
