Greetings All,
Some questions about the Pro Power in the Lighting - would be most grateful you know the answers :-D
- For the 7.2kw and 9.6kw pro power - they both use have a single L-14 30 (240v 30amp) in the bed?
- Do the outlets stay "alive" after the truck is parked? If so do they stay ready indefinitely or for a set time?
- Assuming the L-14 30 is in use - beyond the battery reaching it's minimum capacity threshold - are there any other limitations as far as that outlet staying active/alive?
- One could setup a "poor man's" whole house inverter generator setup by?:
---- Setting up a manual transfer switch that would plug into the L-14 30 (autmatic transfer switch if the L-14 30 outlet is alive even when parked for extended periods of time)
---- During blackout, use the transfer switch and plug in the truck
---- When the battery gets to 30-50% - plug in a small generator (say around 5kw), connect an EVSE to it and charge the truck though the J1772 port at around 2.4kw (or whatever optimal output/ best fuel economy for the generator) - stop at 90% or whenever the BMS slows the charge to below optimal generator output.
---- Repeat step 3 until power is restored (can be 2-3 weeks in my neck of the woods after a really bad storm)
Thanks in advance!
