Off-Grid Engineering "Black November" Sale!

Nice! Thanks so much for the order. We'll get working on all these ASAP.

 

Does the dual batter system require an HO alternator? (or is it a recommendation?)

 

You need to research the manufacture’s charging recommendations for the batteries you plan to use. But here’s a thread with a simple and popular solution if you need more juice https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/mike-singer-voltage-booster-groupbuy-feeler-thread.541223/

 

Thanks Boomkanani!

To answer your question 000doodie000,

Most Toyota truck alternators are 130 amps. This is plenty powerful enough for our dual battery applications. However, the voltage they are designed to operate at is usually not sufficient to keep AGM batteries charged above 90%.

These "booster fuses" are a great solution. I personally run one in my 4Runner and it has been great to keep the Odyssey batteries topped off. I routinely get 14.4 volts out of my alternator now that it is installed. This is exactly what most AGM batteries need.

Of course, an alternative is to simply charge your batteries once every few weeks with a quality battery charger.

Long story short, you do not need an upgraded alternator to get higher voltage or to simply run a dual battery system.

 

This sale is still going for 3 more days!

 

Sooooo want for the 4Runner but already spent too much on Black Friday and Monday

 

Ha! I feel your pain

 

Now I need to buy batteries.

 

Nice. Cant wait for mine to get shipped!

 

Finished install after receiving some of @Mr.PowerTrays stubby cables for the Blue Seas fuse box and cable to run the SwitchPro off the aux battery.

 

Good info

 

Any sales coming up soon? How about a Military discount? I wanted to get one so bad before we moved up to Alaska but the timeline didn't work out. I have winched myself out twice in the past two weeks up here already off of one battery. I need this!

 

Hey @Tatts521 check those guys out. They have a few kits on their website

 

Finally installed

 

Looks great! On my to do list
