Cast your mind, if you will... We have all been there. Your boss won't let you plug your truck in while you're at work. You know the temps are "freakin' cold" and you dread having to go out there and exhaust your starter trying to crank it over. I was dreaming and came up with this:
An extra pair of batteries mounted on the side of the frame. These batteries are independent from the other two in the truck. They are hooked up to an inverter with your block heater hooked up to them.
Have a pair of switches like this going to your other batteries after use for when you need to recharge you batteries after use. http://www.zoro.com/i/G2699243/?utm...hopping_Feed&gclid=COWJ7K7b7MMCFQ4BaQodHH4A8A
It is an "Oh crap, my truck isn't going to start and I can't plug it in system. Just go out there and plug it into itself for and hour or two and it won't run down your batteries you need to make your truck start.
I basically couldn't sleep last night so I though up this design. I'm not sure if it would actually be feasible. I'm entirely certain that a larger alternator would be a must. So let me know what you think.
