Off-Road Ranger I
I'm trying to figure out how to put a 2nd battery in the bed of my 2014 Tacoma. Putting it there isn't the issue, it's figuring out how to get the wires into the bed and what size to run. I want to put it in the front right corner of the bed. The main battery is located in the front left of the engine compartment and I have a double cab. I was thinking of using a Blue Sea ACR or something like that.
How do I figure out how much current I will expect to flow between the batteries in a worst case normal operating condition situation like the house battery is discharged and the truck battery just reached full charge and the relay connects the two? If I knew that I would be able to figure out what size wire to use.
As for getting the wires through the bed I was thinking of using bulkhead terminals like these through the side wall of the bed. I'm very open to other ideas though!
