My understanding is whilst DC-DC chargers might be able to charge batteries to a higher SOC, this comes at a cost of much slower charging. On the other hand, direct charging from the alternator (perhaps via a Traxide unit) might allow faster charging, but not to full SOC. Seems like an obvious trade off, but no idea which is better or worse (or either).
