Truck won't auto-stop anymore

I’ve run a battery charger with 3 drone batteries charging from my inverter, I don’t remember stop/start disabling. I read that from the manual too. Maybe there has a to be a pretty significant load on the inverter?

so is the battery just WIMPY or is auto start stop as well as other uses ( like using the 40+ thousand lumens of B/D lights along with a high bass output stereo a lot ) etc., etc. just frying the daggone thing faster. One thing I notice is that long lights the stop start will give up even in average temps - we’ve got some long lights around us, I think the longest is 7 minutes, the truck keeps everything running just like the engine is on, lights, stereo, heat, heated/cooled seats, etc.

did you notice any slow starting?

I run an Ipad off the inverter. If the Ipad is fully charged when I start, the stop/starts works. If it is not, so the load is running the Ipad and charging it as well, the stop/start does not work. So there is a threshold where it turns off the start/stop. along with a bunch of other things that turn it off.

Curious why you’re charging off the inverter with multiple USB outlets available in the car. I haven’t done a current draw test but based on the charging rate I’ve seen, they appear to deliver the full 10-12watts the wall charger provides.
