To be honest I got lost after Ray pulled down the sun visor. At todays prices I can well imagine how much a new truck like that would cost if it were special ordered and built to these same specs and options. Good job Ray even though I only have a vague idea what you're talking about. My best takeaways are the quality factory installs on the controls, interior panels and the overall tidiness of the truck interior.

Eventually consider a standby generator with a transfer switch. I'm in So. Fl. and when we moved into a new home one of the first things I did was have a 22KW standby gen installed with natural gas. They also run on LP. It's amazing TBH. If the power goes out you don't even know it. It runs the entire house just as it would from the utility. I don't have to touch anything it's all automatic. It wasn't cheap but it was worth it.

IDEA!! Are you going to have some kind of grommets in the front side (or bottom) of your bed box as a pass-thru to run cords to your house during hurricane conditions to keep box lid from being opened and flooding your box?

[@v12alpine]

I see ALOT of voltage drop, enough that the rear battery is still discharging at full load when connected to the front. I would highly recommend a larger gauge cable from front to rear and pretty much all of them in the box. Also double up on the relay or use a much larger one. I also question the differing pulley sizes and unequal power share. Lastly, take a FLIR gun to the entire setup next time you do a full load.

[@Tony-he8ze]

[@railfanpat1719]

Other than hurricane season or a power outage, I see that system being really useful as supply for some kind of travel/ camper trailer when not around any shoreline to power it.

[@railfanpat1719]

You used inverters that was already in your possession but could have also used those PowerDrive inverters that you find in the truck stops. I am a OTR truck driver and have a 3000 watt inverter in the truck I drive with many 4 outlets built into it. I believe I spent about $270 a couple years ago. I run a laptop, Keurig coffee maker and a microwave and not using over 45% of it’s capacity

Rule of thumb I always was told with drawing high output from alternators is that its best to do it while cruising at a reasonable speed so you get a decent "alternating voltage" inside them and decent airflow through them.

Matter of fact, the I-4 corridor is called “Thunder Ally” by pilots. with the convergence of the warm gulf and cold Atlantic air - It can generate massive storms.

Perform volt drop tests on each batter cable starting with the negative battery terminal, each cable is allowed no more than .2 VDC drop under starting load; maximum allowable drop on charge wire return is no more than .2 VDC per 10 amps of charging load at each alternator.

[@NCR01464]

Thanks for the update on the systems and interior of the Dirty Max/Silverado/Escarado(?). I'd bet there were nights laying awake thinking of this electrical system & emergency power system. I've tried following the system details, not being very electrically inclined it has been very educational. Would love to have a similar system for emergency. I hope you never have to use it (no hurricanes) but great being prepared. Thanks for being inspirational to me in your visions for all of those improvements. 😊

[@LilYeshua]

I'm guessing that as long as you have the right gauge wires and proper grounding then you'll be safe from any electrical fires. One time I made the mistake of leaving my aftermarket one gauge battery to body ground wire disconnected and my factory vehicle body to engine ground almost fully burned to a crisp. I had a 700 watt RMS sound system I installed with one gauge power and ground wires. I chose one gauge to minimize voltage drop plus I couldn't find any zero gauge wire to use at the time.

[@handyman1957]

This is the most important comment. Wire size from the Alternators to the rear batteries have to be able to carry the amp max amp load that those alternators can output. If not, you will have voltage and amperage drop at minimum. At max, they will melt and you will have a very bad day.

[@LeewardStudios]

Cole Herse used to have a dual solenoid for boats that would automatically disconnect your boat starting battery bank from the banks used for radios etc. it also had a charge circuit to ensure the staring battery bank charged first then the “spare” bank. That way keeps the alternator from getting burned out. I used it on ambulances to isolate the charges and lights and the pure sine inverter in the rear or box so that it would. It nuke the starting batteries for the diesel engine. It did require us to ensure the devices were on completely separate positive power busses but could use a common ground

[@robertmoore8166]

Your were actually correct when you called the "solenoid" a relay. A solenoid is a coil that moves an actuating arm to do something mechanical. A relay is a solenoid where the actuating arm is connected to contacts to break or make a circuit. So, mechanical relays have solenoids built into them. We also have solid state relays, but that is another story. Hope this helps. Love your videos!

[@Taillighttim26]

Being prepared for a hurricane where you live is a smart move something that can keep your major appliances running without running on a gas generator and having to keep filling and checking the gas is a pain so having that extra power system is a big help sometimes the power might not be back for a few days or longer you still have a system to hold you until it does I know from my experience it's a pain in the ass keeping up with the generator and fuel level especially when you have a sump pump that needs to stay running so your house doesn't flood

Of course, that should have a switch to make it all dark, when necessary for safety or other considerations.....The interior is so wonderful, how are you ever gonna use the truck for work?????? lol!!!!

[@lukemason9500]

I am loving this truck. It just keeps getting better! One thing though. From experience I would recommend having a voltage sensitive relay (or integrating a relay into the ignition live circuit) to couple and decouple the primary system to the reserve battery. That would automatically connect them when the engine is running to charge and disconnect when the engine is off so you don’t accidentally leave it coupled and run down the starter batteries. You can then use the switch you have to override it if you want to. Sooner or later as it is you will forget and be left with 3 drained batteries an da truck that won’t start.

[@markbinkerd483]

Great system! Thhhee alternators work beer han expected at reguar idle. I would suggest you use key on power to run the relay that bridges the auxiliary battery to the truck batteries. That way you cannot accidentally leave them connected when the truck is not running. This prevents the auxiliary system from being able to prevent the truck from starting due too accidental battery drain.

[@shannononeil2751]

All the extra switches, solenoids and wiring reminds me of my marina dock slip partner. He's tried to do the same thing on his boat for years. He's played with using different inverters, batteries, etc to make AC from his DC boat batteries "while at anchor, away from dock power," main engines off and not running his diesel gen set.. He replaces his five 8-D's every two to three years and they're a mix of (expensive) AGM's and deep cycle. The concept is noble, but it takes hours to recharge the batteries after every deep cycle and shortens the battery life.. In the real world it creates lots of complications for him, potential failure points and unexpected pitfalls..

[@tonyjover]

The difference here is that Ray will only use this setup on rare occasions when the grid goes down as opposed to your neighbour who does it regularly.

Awesome system you got there more than enough power for your home and family during an outage Cheers from Nova Scotia 👍👍👍👍

[@peterbenson3776]

From someones previous experience: make sure your connection wires between batteries are very large. If the rear is discharged badly the inrush current will melt wires. For real. It happened on a work truck my son drove.

[@opamueller69]

There was a lot of info to take in from this episode. While I'm not an electrician, I agree with other comments concerning the proper gage of wiring (for anticipated load needs), relay sizes, differences in battery types and technologies, and the imbalance from the higher output alternator. Overall, cudos to you for making your "Escarado" a mobile power- producing laboratory! I would seriously consider having someone with depth of experience with electrical loads/instrumentation evaluate your mobile "power grid" before you get too far with the build. Congrats, and good luck Professor!

[@andrewarmenia1461]

I'd install a second fuse or breaker at the secondary battery. If the battery cable shorts to the frame when the solenoid is engaged, the front and rear batteries are both going to feed current into the short, so both ends of that cable need to be protected.

[@bobsmith3790]

That was a great video, Ray! I think it’s great you built that. Thanks for sharing it.

[@TheSandman614]

Ray, while the dual battery connect system you are using works in my experience of using a similar system and now using a DC-DC charging system. The DC-DC charger system works a lot better for my similar application. Just something to look into for future if you come across any short comings of this system.

[@jimmeade2976]

Very impressive work by Ray. I wonder if the wire sizes are correct though. For 115 amps, 1/0 AWG or larger would typically be used (200 amps require 3/0) and the wires don't look like that. Too small a wire will result in undesirable voltage drops (which Ray's multi-metering is showing) as well as create a fire risk ... not good when that's right next to a large tank of diesel fuel. It would be worthwhile to have an electrical engineer (a FP&L employee would be good) take a look at the setup and verify it.

[@Beretta96Dan]

I doubt a FP&L employee would want to be straddled with that responsibility. If Ray gets wide open running current out of that truck, it could cause a meltdown! WOO-HOO!!!

I have the ECOFLOW system, I have two generators, that work great. I run all of the computers, and a light.

I do have a gas generator, and a few 12 converters to connect to my trucks system, soon to get an additional battery and alternator soon.

[@basbass429]

The setup is awesome, i think the fun factor of building something custom that works is probably most important to you and brings interesting content for us. As others mentioned, only required improvement is ventilation to the battery and inverters. With the lid closed, high risk of overheating and you probably need it when a hurricane is around. A stormproof slightly off the ground (against flooding) shed some distance from the house with a diesel generator and a battery (and ventilation)? And carry a very diesel small generator in the truck where the battery and inverters are now, as extra backup emergency power elsewhere? Which is still much lighter than your custom setup. But your custom setup has the "cool" factor. Just a generator is boring.

[@jimparr01Utube]

Ray, you have done a great job with your DIY power system. The ongoing problem you will have however, is that a 12V nominal system is HUGELY stressed by the loads you may put on it. Also, even with starter cable diameter wire, the resistive losses are substantial. A 12V, 100Ahr battery will only deliver a kilowatt for about 40 minutes and that translates to about 750W for 40 minutes because of the losses in cables and the Inverter/s. Yes, it is a given you will run your truck engine when using your emergency system. All understood. Bottom line, if you were starting with a 48V or 96V battery system then your overall system stresses would be way-way less (at least 1/10'th). TESLA has just yesterday released their Cybertruck with a 48V generic power reticulation (not 12V). The main power-train battery is roughly 400V. You might want to up-inform yourself of what is going on in the EV revolution Sir. It was very exciting to see the Cybertruck outpacing a Porsche 911 on a quarter mile stretch WHILE TOWING ANOTHER PORSCHE 911 ON A TRAILER. This is not about drag racing, but very much how expeditious use of energy can carry the day. I so enjoy watching your show several times a week. I do not mind your miffs, muffs and dropsy interludes and very much appreciate the accumulated knowledge you kindly share with us all.

I see you have a Kill-A-Watt meter there. Beware! You should check its line voltage display by using your Fluke DMM. I found mine is reading about 12% low.

A lot of people are concerned over the alternator imbalance. I think it's probably a good thing. Let your secondary alternator do the heavy work while the primary alternator takes it easy and won't burn out as fast - assuming that the secondary alternator has a higher amp rating (can't remember from past videos). Your wiring might be too small but I doubt you plan on running max output for hours on end. It would be just fine for compressor startup loads on refrigerators which have probably double or triple normal running currents (yes I know it could actually draw many hundreds of in rush amps if you scoped it out on startup in milliseconds)

[@tripod6406]
