Lol, my 12k btu window unit only used 930w full blast. 6k btu 460w, 5k btu 450w
First off awesome post and thank you. In the photo where is is captioned (positive bolt here) What size nut? Metric or standard? Thank you for the Photo with Kydex as a cover.I have been a all stop on my inverter install and had to cut the factory Red plastic cover . I had no Idea about the kydex. Thx. Ordered from amazon
I have solar panels Knee deep thanks to you after my inverter install I will be doing this tonnage cover. Thx

You are welcome.
I'm not sure on the nut. Sorry. In my mixed up assortment from Harbor Freight, I just found one that fit. It looks to me to be 1/2" standard, but I can't say for sure.
As for the Kydex, you can soften it for molding with a blow dryer on high or a heat gun.
Good luck.

Now that is cool. Do you have plans to wire that into the hybrid battery?Could be a good match for my 2023 Hybrid XLT equipped with a 400 watt Solar tonneau cover.
Curious as that seem like a cool way. Especially if they get a plug in hybrid.
Unfortunately, the voltage output of 12/24 volts wouldn't be sufficient for charging the hybrid battery pack, which typically operates between 300-400 volts.
Just wondering would if a 30 amp Watt PMW Charge controller wires between the panels and the Jumper connection under the hood. Keep the 12 volt Battery desulfated/Charged and eliminate the deep sleep issue. Just in theory it should work?

Certainly, but the panels might be overkill for a single 12V battery, and you'd likely need an AGM charge controller. However, I'm not sure if attempting that would void the warranty, so it's something to consider carefully.
That is food for thought. I will call The Ford Service center and ask them about putting a battery maintainer on it. The PMW Charge controller I use shut off when the Battery is charged up and since it a 12 Volt Battery I dont see much of a issue. But Better safe than sorry. I will call them. I just think is the battery is the only thing in the circuit there should not be a issue.
Since you have to place negative on pwm onto body ground and not on battery post (so that trucks BMS can "see" the charge activity) and considering that there is some draw on 12v for computer, sensors, alarm, etc the pwm controller is NOT the only thing on the circuit???
Yeah a 2k inverter would work but you would have to connect it directly to the battery cable. IMO this sort of arrangement is good for when you need a lot of juice but not every day.
