I have a 3rd Gen Tacoma Limited (2016 - 2023) and want to install a DC/DC Charger in my 2108 to charge /maintain my 300AH Lithium Battery.
Reading other forums, many have reported issues with getting a DC/DC Charger to work with the 3rd Generation Tacoma. Unsure if it affects the same generation of 4runner and other Toyota models as well.
The issues I have read is that the Alternator is a variable voltage alternator and the voltage changes based on many factors, some for economy reasons. With the voltage changing the trailer installed DC/DC charger tends to drop out, cycle or not get the battery to full charge to name a few. I have been told a smart isolator like the redarc SBI12 is what is required.
Has anyone had success here and if so what did you do, do you have pictures of your install.
