Dual Battery Systems
Dual battery system to run a fridge in your truck.
Smart Alternators emerged in cars in around 1998 and changed the tec required to run a simple 'Dual Battery System' in your truck. Typically DCDC chargers are required to lift/manage charging that second battery. Lifepo4 batteries changed the game with faster charging capabilities, lighter weight - 5000+ Cycle life and increased storage.
Tough Touring provides a 'state of the art' Dual Battery kit (no solar panel required) to keep a fridge in your car running indefinatly if driving around an hour a day - (or for between 2 and 4 days stationary before you have to drive your car to recharge.)

Athors Note:
Building in Dual battery systems can get out of hand, typically also requiring rear drawer systems to also be removed, re-fitted and modified everytime you want to troubleshoot or replace /upgrade the tec componentry,
The amount of times a customer says "I just want to run me fridge" and then wants to upgrade to an inverter so he can run starlink /computer / Charge Tool Batteries / is endless...
If your not someone that does this stuff yourself for the love of it - Labour costs can lead to an expensive mixed up system that is not transferrable to your next vehicle -
​
Tough tourings general advice is to look toward 'plug and play systems like our RPS units instead - total game changers to the way we now travel. See link below "Renewable Power systems" for more information on RPS.
