Re: [A/S] Electrical Independence
Bob,
It will work. The problem I see is that you will be adding a lot of
weight to the trailer with 2 banks of batteries. You may want to
consider this in your plan.
Also, letting the puller idle will charge the batteries but at a huge
(IMO) cost. I would guess that the charge rate would be less than 4
amps which would be about 50 watts. If you run this setup for 20 hours,
you will have ten cents worth of electric (except in California). I
think it would be better to use a small generator.
