[QUOTE="BroncoAZ, post: 1525977, member: 36963"] I’ve run an ARB 55 quart and now a 37 quart for the past 3.5 years. I had decent luck running it off the main battery in my Touareg on all but the hottest of days, but not so much luck on the Outback with the tiny stock battery. My Passat has a second battery, group 31 AGM, that works perfect for up to 4+ days without driving the car depending on the ambient temps. In Phoenix summers it goes for about 4 days without killing the battery, winter time it can go 7+ days easily. I would recommend a second battery, but I may try it for a couple weeks without. My use is different, I use mine for long range commuting for 3-5 days at a time. The truck generally gets driven at least 30 minutes per day. The stock battery in the Raptor is pretty good sized, so it may be ok without a second battery. I don’t want to mount a second battery in the bed, so I need to explore other options. Maybe a small secondary battery or even a pair of secondaries wired in parallel. I was thinking I might be able to remove the stock jack and fit a battery(or batteries) behind the seat. I use a blue sea automatic charging relay to separate the secondary from the main. [/QUOTE]
