I have a 12v li-po cell. The alternator puts out 80amps.Is that too much current to charge a small cell?
How do I stop the alternator over charging it? The instructions say I must make sure the the battery management system doesnt exceed 15v. This post has been edited by yellowchinaman: Apr 25, 2014 - 1:11 PM |

Your ECU controls the alternator's internal voltage regulator. If anything is to happen you will see it fast and react accordingly, instead of driving for an unknown period with a bad charging system.
And your alternator is not constantly producing 80A. When demanded, it supplies. -------------------- |
