You can not connect direct from the alternator to the Orion input and then to the lithium batteries. You must have the lead acid battery on the alternator outlet. Many people have tried without the lead acid battery and get unstable alternator voltage and current. The alternator voltage regulator needs the lead acid battery to act as a buffer to stabilise the system.
