    Only 180 watts that can plug into a 12 volt in the truck, they don't allow any that are hard wired.

    No they don't that any more. Every body gets a upgraded machine s900 and a car battery with a inverter in a canvas bag. To use. And during the day you plug the Car battery in to a accessory plug to charge.

    Hope that battery isn't loose in the cab while recharging . In a accident it's going to become a projectile.

    right, the same inverter they USED to hard wire is a part of this portable battery system. I should know, I have one. 300w pure sine wave inverter, battery charger and the battery in a orange and green canvas tool bag.

    I put mine behind the passenger seat. Its so heavy anyway that it wont go anywhere. THEY recommend the passenger seat with the belt looped through the handle. F that.

    not that I've smelled. I read the warnings which do say avoid charging in a closed space, etc. So our safety is our #1 core value seem to overlook the three manufacturers warnings related to this.


    That aside, its nice to have the extra juice for power and the old batteries still start the truck.
