Awesome video!!. Question, with the truck being off is there a danger of killing your starter battery? If so, how long can you run it max before it kills the battery? Or is there like a fail safe?

Are there any special considerations I need to make having dual starter batteries in my truck? One isolator would still suffice I'd imagine. Great video. The only thing I'd add is some carpet on that shelf.

What size wire did you run from the truck starter battery to the auxillary battery in the bed? Could I skip the auxillary battery and run the inverter straight from the starter battery with just the circuit breaker and only run it while the engine is on?
@HKOutdoors5561 8 ай бұрын
It is a 6 gauge wire. You could definitely run the inverter off of the starter battery, but I would not recommend doing that.
@jonathankuhn2180 8 ай бұрын
@@HKOutdoors5561 Thanks for the reply. So will that 6 gauge wire from the starter battery to the auxiliary battery not get hot when the inverter is running that heater from the auxiliary battery? My question is, if you were driving the truck, and you have the 6 gauge running from the starter to the extra battery in the back, when you are pulling those watts out of the extra battery, is that load not then pulled from the other battery because they are connected? Thus causing the 6 gauge to get too hot? Thanks for any explanation. Also wondering, do you need a fuse or breaker besides the smart isolator on the positive wire between the two batteries? Thanks again!

@parttimecamper5561 This is exactly what I was looking for. Direct and straight to the point. Question for you, have you had any issue with charging your secondary AGM battery with the amount of amps your alternator puts out as it differs from your starter lead acid battery? I know they have different charging rates. Will this shorten the battery life of the AGM? I use my work van everyday but only got the inverter to run a space heater when needed and a tv for the kids. But that’s it. And my inverter is way over the top for anything I would ever use 😂

Sir. May do this exact setup. Have a couple questions. At what voltage do you need to worry about charging the auxiliary battery? I have heard that regular AGM’s can’t fall below like 12.1 volts or they will get damaged. Two, how could I add a volt meter so I could check the voltage to know when I needed to start the truck to charge? Thanks for this video!!!
@HKOutdoors5561 11 ай бұрын
AGM batteries can actually be discharged further than your standard lead acid battery. In my opinion I would not discharge them any further than 12.0 volts, but they say you can go all the way to 11.6. I wouldn't want to risk damaging the battery. You can also go with lithium and be able to run them down all the way without any damage. You can now purchase a 12v 100ah lithium battery for around $300 if you find them on sale. I just purchased a Sun Gold Power and so far haven't had any issues with it. It has Bluetooth capability to monitor the voltage. If you do go with an AGM, here is a link to a video where I install a voltage meter and some 12v cigarette plugs. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rYvNlHyljq59a7csi=FceyyLGjllx0IHt_

Very neat. The essential battery isolator. Wires run above the floor. You should never plug a gigantic 1500 watts into a 1500 watt inverter. Short uses can be 750 watts sensibly. You should also add a squarish, not long, 100 watt solar panels and solar charge controller. Soon, you'll want a few remote cigarette lighter plugs and a 12 volt chest freezer. Mine runs on 31 watts and always on ECO mode.

So, the answer to do I need a fuse between battery and inverter is yes, you sure do. First of all, the inverter will work only in inverter mode without a fuse, and secondly, there will be the least protection for the inverter and connected loads.
