Re: 12 Volt Auto AC unit Custom Hookup
How about a hook up where I run a 12 volt motor on a pully to a ac compressor ?? Do you guys think that might work and what type of HP do you think an AC compressor for a car takes? I know i asked this in the last post but I am starting to hear from Garages that 3hp is a bit much to run an AC pump.....

Re: 12 Volt Auto AC unit Custom Hookup
Gotcha. I am trying so hard to come up with something outside of a ICE chest with fan in it that would work for like 1 hour. I can put a bank of 4 batteries in the truck if needed.

Re: 12 Volt Auto AC unit Custom Hookup
What about hooking up a Toyota Prius Electric AC Compressor? Any ideas how long something like that would run on a battery 12 volt. Also how you would hook it up?

Is there any set up that would give me at least 8 hours run time on some type of setup. The Electric AC compressor looks interesting. Almost like it belongs to a Fridge in your house. Heck I wonder if something like that might even work. I am looking for something I can Implement for under $500. Not...

12 Volt Auto AC unit Custom Hookup
I am trying to build a custom setup for AC in a truck sleeper berth. I want to use a 12 VOLT motor to turn an AUTO ac compressor. I figured a 3HP motor would work to do this. Any ideas on how long this motor would run on a Deep Cycle Marine battery under load from the compressor? Thank you
