I currently have the following setup
Conventional alternator charges engine battery (Lead)
Alternator also feeds to input of Victron Orion DC DC smart charger
Output of DC DC charger feeds to Lithium house battery
Engine battery used to start engine
Since the current of the DC DC converter is limited to 30A and I would like to upgrade to a smart 120A alternator, I was wondering if I could do the following
Smart alternator charges house battery (Lithium)
Smart alternator feeds to input of Victron Orion DC DC smart charger
Output of DC DC charger feeds to Lead Engine battery
Engine battery still used to start engine in-spite of alternator rewiring.
The hope is that I can get 90A to the house and 30A to the engine.
Any thoughts
I should have pointed out that this is on a boat that will be crossing the atlantic. The alternator will be a Balmar Smart 120A Alternator with matching control system.
The charger is the Orion isolated DC DC 30A charger.
