Buck-Boost in Non Euro Vehicle

Any issues in using a 100A Buck-Boost to charge Lithium Battery Bank in a 12V vehicle without intelligent dynamo? Needing 100-120A charging for 1000+AH battery bank from vehicle's (Ford) 397A alternator. Thanks

Hi @mbdrenth

"The Buck-Boost DC-DC Converter is a DC-DC Converter for charging a 12V or 24V service battery in vehicles with a smart alternator." according to Victron documentation.

For a not smart alternator, opt for a Cyrix 120 or 230A.
