Mispronounced adventures on YT fitted 2 30A BtoBs to a Mk8, might be worth a view ?

Thanks! I did exactly the same. I think alternator output is limited to 50a by ford bms.
I have contacted Alex, unfortunately no reply on that yet.

It's not limited. You can install two Orions 30A like he did but I always would install a switch so you can choose not to use both at all times.

Cheers,

.
After moving negative from the starter battery end to the chassis all works perfect now.
