I just recently put a triple battery setup in my semi, as opposed to a dual battery setup. Its an International 4700 straight truck with the DT360 motor. I also have a dual alternator setup. Think thats enough to charge up those big 3 batteries? Im runnin 3 batteries because when I load up travel trailers on the back of the semi, I have the winch runnin and all the lights runnin and it seems to take a toll on the dual batteries. Especially since the truck isn't running. It has air ride in the back, and the truck has the feature of releasing all air in the back airbags to make it kneel down and sit on the tires so loading is easier, but the feature is dumb because you can't do that with the truck running, so Im forced to operate the winch and all lights with no motor to charge the batteries. Not sure what the amp ratings are on the alternators, but let me know what you think.
