Alternator output at idle?

[FrazzledHunter]

I had an Ecoflow delta mini that could only take 300W of DC input. But I'm picking up a larger unit during black friday, mostly likely the Pecron f3000 which can take 1600W of DC input (way over kill, but cool that I can combine alternator and solar simultaneously)


huh didn't even know there is a 390A option. Definitely will keep that in mind for the future. I think for now I'll run my stock alternator at 40A ish until replacement.

If you do order an alternator make sure it supports LIN which is the protocol that is used to communicate with the ECU.

The company that makes these alternators (M2K, Smart Battery Charger - same company) services the civilian and military markets. As we know, the Land Cruiser is used by the UN and as military vehicles in some countries. There are other options besides replacing the OEM alternator with one of their drop-in replacements. Also available are single and multi alternator add-on kits where you can add one or two additional alternators. This leaves you with the option of leaving all the alternator and wiring all OEM. Of course you could still upgrade the OEM alternator. You could also go up to higher voltage like 48V on the add-on alternator(s) which enables the use of lighter wiring. Going this route adding two alternators and upgrading the OEM can get you to 1000+A. You need this kind of power if you're, say, powering a radar or radio jamming unit, machine gun turret, sat communications station or perhaps something else.

I almost did this but cost and complexity kept me from doing this. To do it I would have had to have a battery bank in the passenger compartment plus DC-DC chargers and I didn't want to commit to the space. Now for those running drawers who have already added additional batteries this might be an attractive option.
