House battery charging question? Charging batteries from two sources simultaneously
I have a basic question about charging my Lithium house batteries from 2 sources at the same time. If my batteries are being charged from my chasis alternator at 14.4 Volts while driving and my newly installed 300 Watt solar panels are also charging batteries at 14.4 volts as I drive, will batteries be damaged? My lithium Battery Isolation Manager (LI-BIM) connects directly to the batteries for 15 minutes then switches off, and the solar panels are connected to a 30Amp charge controller.
With 2 sources charging at 14.4 volts, are the batteries still being charged at a total of 14.4 volts but increased amps, or could this damage these expensive batteries?
