Default Battery charger

Why not use a traditional split charge relay.
Alternator output then becomes the limiting factor

I'm not familiar with the term split charge relay, but if it is what is
referred to as a "Battery Isolator" then I actually like the idea. A good
isolator will charge the starting battery first then it will take leftover
power to charge the other battery. Combine this with solar power and you
have a winning combination in my book.
