I checked the amperage output from the alternator this afternoon. Fully charged batteries. With everything on the draw was about 12 amps on the 14v side and somewhere between 6 and 12 amps on the 28v side. That's with all the 1079 24v lighting turned on, service drive and panel bright engaged on...

Ah yes it is voltage based on the LBCD cut off..... the LBCD itself is *rated* to handle 200a but as you pointed out the charge current doesn't pass through it so that's probably not much of a limitation in practice. The grid heater doesn't seem to bother the 260a alt much. The voltage drop is...

I'm considering a pair of these. They come with shunts and are 12/24v and they are relatively inexpensive. One for each side of the 260A alternator. My main need beyond monitoring the draw on the stupidly expensive alternator is to ascertain how much overhead I have to work with on the 24v side...
