Sounds like a well thought out plan!
Do you know what the charging voltage will be during that 8 hour drive? And is that the charging voltage the BBs want? On second read, I see the BB is adjustable.
Is the 60 amp rating on the Sterling self limiting? In other words if the BB will take much more amperage will it put a strain on the Sterling. Just asking out of ignorance. I don’t know exactly which model of the Sterling you are looking at, so I couldn’t read the specific literature on their website.
I am commenting primarily out of two fundamentals. One, the lithium’s have a tremendous capacity to take and allow a high amperage input. Two, the charging voltage for a lead acid chassis batt and a lion bat are pretty different, and if you charge the lion like a lead acid, you have cooked it.
