TJ,
Look at the schematic I posted. It is clear that the power to the gen starter is connected to the house batteries. Your connection of the gen start cable to the chassis batteries is not how the system was designed. By doing so, you are inadvertantly back feeding a ground circuit. That’s why the preheat light is glowing when the switch is not activated.
I don’t know the reasoning behind the disconnections that you did. So I could be entirely in left field.
The only disconnection you have to do to prevent the alternator from charging the lithiums was the one cable from the house side of the merge solenoid to the isolation diode box.
