I'm curious how the flow heater I'm going to integrate (controllable via PWM, theoretically up to 250A, but I don't want to blow the alternator fuse nor one of its rectifiers, so I'll run it at about 110A) will affect the remaining lifetime :D

The OEM PTC heater is only a 40 A heater. The OEM alternator is only rated at 70A, so you really don't want to exceed that or you will quickly drain the battery.
