Thanks again for reiterating the “using your alternator for charging” points and cautions.
Even if most will never have a 12v lithium battery or a couple (Northstar) paralleled AGM’s, its a good thing to remember that one should not idle for recharging anything, even a golf cart set or (gasp) your own starter battery.
If you have the coin for a lithium battery then pay the extra and figure out how to best recharge it. DC to DC charger, gennie, something other than your never designed for it alternator and wiring.
Do people do it, of course but people do all kinds of not best practice (dumb) things.
