I usually keep it at 12.6 and it will stay overnight but this morning i woke up it was 12.1 with the bunk heater running all night. I turned the truck on and the inverter threw the low voltage alarm as engine was turning over. So i wonder if less than 12.6 is pulling on batteries
What if it Snows?

Now CRE is on the other side of me, and he's idling.
And he's smoking cigarettes.
I mean if he wants to enjoy his final days gurgling from emphysema, more power to him.

Amarillo sucked this morning. The parking lot was a mess of slush that got to fold up my tarps in. Good times!

That was my exact thoughts this morning. It barely got 12k miles on it . but the batteries seem very weak compared to the ones in my cascadialovesthedrive, thelushlarry, FlaSwampRat and 2 others Thank this.

Not great, what is the output, small like 500 watts for a short time, should be ok. Anything more fire up the engine.
When your cranking the engine, you could pull them down to close to 10 volts for a short period. So it would trip low voltage on the inverter.
Batteries have a life span, they don’t last forever.Last edited: Oct 25, 2019
