Pro Power on Lightning - Is it always on? Is there a limit on how long it can stay on for?

[Lightning_Bob]

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!

.........................if you order the 9.6kw ProPower OnBoard, you will have the additional power option: the 240v 30amp outlet 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?
.........................YOU decide whether outlets are 'active', or not, whether while in motion, or while parked.
There are screens that provide this 'On/Off' set of outlet zones, such as the 'bed', versus the 'frunk', etc., or all at the same 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?
.........................YOU have control, via a screen setting, that tells the system to turn any outlets OFF when the main battery falls to a certain level.

....................................................sure, there are many possibilities....
