Hi All

I'm about to help a Mate put a duel battery system in his Hilux, T/D 06 model. He has bought a Ctek 25A DC to DC charger and was planing on charging his two 130A/HR AGM auxiliary batteries from it.
I have tonged the alternator and it puts out 35A at idle and around 60A at revs you would probably cruise at (I couldn't actually see the Tacho at 60A but it didn't seem unreasonable revs).
Seems like he will be loosing at lot of input to his batteries using this system.
He does have a 80w solar panel, however this could be run without a reg as it won't keep up with the load. Or as he already owns it, he could use it for this should he upgrade his solar to a larger unit in future.
Thoughts?

Thanks

Lyndon
