I am adding an IOTA 12V battery charger to my VW Westfalia camper-van to be powered when ever I plug into shore-power. As you know, the engine is in back and the batteries (chassis and house) are in front. I want to mount the charger in the engine compartment and connect to the positive and negative that are right close on the alternator on the engine. Question: will the alternator's charging current, while the engine is running, hurt the charger? Another way to ask the question: will the charger hurt the alternator and/or will the alternator hurt the charger?
