1000 watt inverter w/ a 2016... will the alternator keep up?
I want to run a 1000 watt load off an inverter at a job site. I have one of those inverters that comes with jumper cables to run right off the battery but now I'm wondering if the alternator will be able to keep up. How much will the alternator put out at idle (or will the vehicle rev up if need be?) By my math a 1000 watt load is going to be ~80 amps.
I may be running it for a few hours so it would be a problem if I was slowly draining the 4Runner's battery. Ideally I would have a small generator for this but it's not going to happen on short notice. |

The car will not automatically rev up if the alternator cannot keep up with the load; you would have to do that manually which I doubt you want to do. You might want to get a voltmeter and check the voltage from time to time. You can get some that plug into the cigarette lighter socket. If the voltage is constantly below 12 volts, the alternator is not keeping up. |

I do have a multimeter so that's a good idea of checking on it periodically so at least I don't end up with a dead battery. |

I'm really just asking what is the usable amps I can get from the stock alternator at idle, after the vehicle has taken what it needs to run the ECU etc. |
