I want to install a 1000 watt inverter in my truck. My inverter goes into low voltage alarm at 11 VDC and shuts down at 10.5 VDC. I am planning on using 3 or 4 deep cycle batteries. To use more of the batteries potential I would like to connect the batteries in series but am having trouble finding some way of charging it from my 12 VDC system and also getting the 36 or 48 VDC back down to 12 VDC at 100 amps. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks
Currently I have a power resistor between my starting battery and
my aux batteries so I am not worried about how much my alternator can handle. From what I hear though it sounds like I will loose to much efficiency trying to put the batteries in series. I was just looking for an efficient way to use about 6 volts instead of using 1.5 volts of capacity. Thanks for the input. If anyone has any other ideas I would like to hear them. Thanks
