PS. Alternators with Bodies that have powder Coating, trap and build up heat in them which is why brands like Balmar don’t tend to last long, and blow up external Regulators frequently, so opt for Alternators with Anodised bodies instead, which run much cooler as they dissipate heat better. There is a Marine specked one that is 120 amp for about £199 but I don’t have the Brand handy at the moment , but note, anything 100 amps or over, really needs serpentine drive belts. When using electric windlass, best to run the engine at a decent torque level for power feed at about 1800 rpm depending on engine plus alternator setup, so you aren’t discharging the battery too much, and same for the Bowthruster.

PPS. I use or intend to, pretty much a reverse of your Buffer Battery System, with House Bank 1 of say 600 ish ah of AGM,plus engine start, Windlass, and Bowthruster Batteries, never Discharged below 80% Capacity so the Recharge Cycles flatline and never drop = 30 plus years of potential Service Life, then Bank 2 of 4 Li Time 230 ah Plus Lifepo4 batteries ge all of the AGM , and never Disharge them below 50% Capacity to keep Recharge Cycles, never Fast Chargers or Discharge them by Sharing the loads equally between each battery, so none of them even get more than Warm, so AGM =120 amps available, Fully charged Bank 2 Li Time = 460 amps available, with DC to DC chargers keeping all the AGM batteries in tip top and close to Fully charged Condition, and easy to get through long nights with no Solar input. Bank 3 plus Water maker is why I need a bigger Sailboat 😅 Bank 3 is for extra backup and for long term testing of cheap Lifepo4 Batteries, such as say 4 x 100 ah Redodo Batteries, which provide up to 200 amps available for top up help plus emergencies least one of Clark’s Adventure Channel’s Bank Managers to pull it all off though. Unfortunately I can no longer get one as a kit, and will probably have to arrange to meet him in Luperon for him to fit them for me, still, he’s a nice guy, and deserves meals and Rum bonuses as well. Bob. 👍

Glad you like it. Back in the uk for a while just a noisy grandson to contend with. LOL 😂
Another outstanding expose - thank you for putting these explanations together so clearly and carefully.
You're very welcome. Thank you.
Sharing with the cruiser forums. Let’s blow up that algorithm
