Exactly.The real advantage of the enhanced voltage charging profile is to get the battery to take more current as it gets charged. So even if your alternator can only supply 20 amps the AB to B can ensure that the batteries will take near 20 amps through a larger portion of the charging process. ie quicker to get to near 100% charge.
A 40 amp max rated alternator, with an 18 amp B to B charger, into a 100 Ah lead acid battery, would seem appropriate. You wouldn't want more than 20 amps, unless the domestic battery was more than 100 Ah.
