    Next Size Up Couples Trailer from 2600RB?

    48V battery charging from a second alternator

    I’m interested in adding a second alternator to my truck (probably 24v) and adding a dc-to-dc battery charger to charge my 48v lithium batts in our 310. It appears Victron doesn’t make a 48v charger for this purpose. Sterling Power makes both a 12v to 48v and a 24v to 48v charger for this...
