I have a E1999 F250 I am in process of updating battery/alternator wiring. I am planning on upgrading my alternator, so I can charge camper batteries while driving down the road. I was planning on using a DC to DC 60amp charger in the camper, possible of up to 75+ amps draw from the truck to charge the camper batteries under high load.
I have added a second 2AWG wire going from the driver’s battery to the passenger’s side battery, and added an extra ground from the alternator to the Driver’s battery. I have gained and extra 70amps peak going to the starter/glow plugs during the starting process just from adding these wires.
I am going to upgrading to a 220Amp Singer Alternator. I wanted to run a addition 1/0AWG wire from the new alternator to the Drivers side battery, and still leave the little original 6AWG cable in place. This allows the majority of the charging to go through much larger wires. I do not know if this is a good Idea or not to leave both wires in place and changing the charging route.
Any feedback on what I want to do?
