The 70-A charger should therefore be installed in a dry indoor location.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat cable gauge and fuse do I need?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVictron specifies 25 mm² (4 AWG) as the minimum gauge, provided the cable is less than 10 m long, plus an 80- to 100-A fuse on each side. For longer runs, you should calculate the voltage drop and opt for a larger gauge—ask us, and we’ll do the math for you.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it compatible with my alternator?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, as long as you limit the input current appropriately. That’s exactly what the stepless current limiting is for—it prevents you from overloading the alternator. If in doubt, ask us; we’ll help you with the design.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it work with LiFePO4?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes.
