Message: [QUOTE="Big Bore, post: 39140, member: 760"] Yep, watts are watts. A battery bank would alleviate some of that as it would store any unused wattage as long as there were periods where the full capacity of the charge source wasn't being maxed by the load. If you were running at max load then you would still eventually run into diminishing returns. I did something similar as I live off the grid and used to build homes off the grid and I got sick and tired of the constant drone from the generator. I bought the ambulance package [I]single[/I] alternator which is 220amps I believe. There may be other alternator options out there. As I understand it, trying to put the dual alt package on a single alt truck is quite involved due to the massive wiring harness differences. As to how much fuel per hour at a certain rpm, that's a somewhat complex calculation, as it would vary based on load from the alternator. We can easily figure theoretical fuel flow at a certain rpm based on cc's of fuel flowed at WOT, but beyond that at reduced throttle as far as I can tell you would simply be guessing at how many cc's the injectors are flowing. HRT or Gearhead may have some math for that based on percent throttle input. [/QUOTE]
