Digger 66 3,478 #1 Posted January 1, 2020 Very cool video for those with questions about testing todays charging systems . One of my favorite channels to watch . Eric O should have been a shop teacher . Check out his videos . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 62,795 #2 Posted January 1, 2020 My new truck has a 110v outlet in the dash, always powered when the truck is on. There’s also a plug in the bed side, switched on from the cab. I wonder how those effect modern charging systems, and what type of amperage they are capable of producing? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tractorhead 9,064 #3 Posted January 1, 2020 Depends on. What was it planed for and how it is solved. We had in out Offroaders also more and more the customers need for 220V whilst Engine is running. we use it for charging bigger Battery banks (up to 1200Ah LiFePo‘s) i.eg for long term autonomous Climatic Systems, and other things. This would be solved at our side with a second alternator, that is able to support you with 5KW of Power. It begins from idle with 3,5Kw and ends up at max RPM with 5KW. That‘s a huge ammount of electric Power but it impresses the Engine nearly nothing. The power draw will be supported by the Engine electronic controlled. I‘m not sure how this would be solved at your Truck, once they just installed a inverter or they work also with a second alternator. The only who can answer that is the Manufacturer. It depends for what that powersystems is built in. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
