I have plans to make something, but I haven't got around to it yet. I also have a couple different designs I want to share which are specific to the 4Runner and that is still under development. I have moved away from the PCB (circuit board) style setup now that I have a spot welder to make packs.
In it's most basic form, it's 3 primary components if you want to research them individually.
- Lithium Battery
- BMS (Battery Management System for monitoring and saftey)
- Adjustable DC-DC Converter / Charger
I'll have more information on these items in the future. I have kicked around some ideas in video, but have yet to follow it up with something more complete about the 4Runner setup.
ARB Fridge Startup - Lithium Battery PCB Load Test - YouTube
18650 Battery Pack - YouTube
Bluetooth BMS Testing / Hardware
18650 Battery Board BMS Testing Setup - YouTube
DC-DC Charger (used to charge from alternator)
Orion-Tr DC-DC Converters Isolated - Victron Energy
Optional Solar
SmartSolar MPPT 75/10, 75/15, 100/15 & 100/20 - Victron Energy
Eventually ill have something more complete for this 4Runner community... My intent wasn't to make an instructional, but ill try and include as much info as possible.
