Hey folks,
I’m trying to do some planning around an upcoming half ton truck purchase for towing a Kimberley Kamper, and I’m wondering about new half tons like the hybrid Tundra and the Ram 1500 w/the Hemi eTorque. As I understand it, they don’t have alternators. What does this mean in terms of adding a Redarc BCDC charger/isolator and an auxiliary battery? Would you still simply wire the BCDC to the crank battery, and likewise to the second battery like I have in my 200 Series?
I can’t find a single example online of someone adding an aux battery to either of these trucks, which makes me think there’s a fundamental issue that I don’t currently understand.
Thanks,
Gino
