Has anyone connected 2 new orion Xs in parallel with a powerful alternator that supports 70-80A loads?

Orion XS in parallel
On my configuration of two Orion Xs in parallel my expectations were to get the most out of the 110A alternator (sterling power). But in reality they both come out with 20-25A but each is so in total I don't get to have more than 50A added up. Is it because when I did the test the SOC of the batteries (lifepo4) were at 95%?
Be aware that a 110A alternator outputs a lot less when the engine is idling, check what happens when you rev-up your engine, does the charge current go up?. Also, with the engine on detection active, the Orion throttles back if the input/alternator voltage drops to "Vshutdown" (typ: 13.1V for smart alternator). This voltage drop happens because the alternator cannot supply the desired power.
un cliente nuestro ha montado dos orions XS en paralelo en una autocaravana con alternador de 200ah y está dando 90ah.
