Thank you for your help. I understand that the built-in DC-DC converter acts like smart alternators that only work when needed to keep a certain battery charged. According to REDARC, the charger will only draw when it finds a source with 12.8v or higher. This means the REDARC may draw from the...

Hi. On my 2025 Hybrid (TRD OR), I plan on tapping off the rear 12V battery using a REDARC DC-DC charger to charge a LiFePO battery while the car is in the Ready mode. On the rear 12V battery positive terminal there are 4 wires that go out, presumably to power 4 or more accessories. They are...

Yes, the dealerships don’t want to get into these things, I am afraid. I am still waiting to hear back from their expert on another electrical question. Good luck.

Thank you for the note. Yes, the goal is to have a dual battery system similar to what I had in my 5th Gen. According to their tech support, REDARC stops pulling power at 12.7 volts. It requires more than 12.7 volts to pull power "The BCDC1225D features a start battery isolation circuit...

Adding an alternator is too much for my needs. It is entirely likely that the built in DC-DC converter is adequate for the REDARC power draw. I don't know which of the fuses I have marked in the attachment is for the rear battery circuit. If the 200A is the circuit then there is ample power to...

On the dual battery setup, when tapping from the rear battery to a device that charges the dual battery, wouldn’t it be the same as tapping directly off the DC-DC converter that is also attached to the rear battery to charge it? Would you know if attaching a 35 amp REDARC DC-DC charger to the...

Is the SUB BATT fuse used between the start up battery and the DC-DC step down converter? If not, which fuse might be doing that? My goal is to determine how much current can be drawn from that converter. Thanks a lot.

An interesting thread in another forum: https://www.4runner6g.com/forum/threads/day-3-camping-kit-hybrid-trd-off-road-premium-iforce-max-in-cutting-edge.2949/

The comment in the link is about the built -in 2400 watt inverter not being able to deliver what it promises even at 1000 watts. That might very well be, and I imagine it is the limitation of the built-in inverter. The inverter may be situated downstream of the built-in DC-DC converter/charger...

What is a break controller and what does it have to do with an AUX switches? What is an example of a higher power?

Hello. The first thing I am doing to my new 6thGen Hybrid is to figure out wiring for my auxiliary battery that will be charged using the REDARC BCDC1225D charger. I will be drawing from the startup battery, but I am trying to figure out if I can place the additional 30 amp demand on the DC/DC...

Hello folks. The 6th Gen Hybrid is my third 4Runner. The first was a 2016 SR5 which I traded in for a 2020 TRD Off-road Premium in 2020, which I basically ruined while taking on a sharp turn on a gravelly mountain road at 51 mph that caused us to wind up on top of some rocks “off road”. The...

Thanks a lot.

Hi. What is the best rubber floor mat for the 6th Gen Hybrid? I know WeatheTech seems to pop uo quickly when searching online. Are there others? Thanks Farzad
