    Hi all, new to the page. new tundra owner here but had a fully built 4 runner rig 5th gen just upgraded for the bed. looking into upgrading my current stock battery to a dual batter set up for future build but currently need it do to my job. I am a helicopter mechanic so when we have downtime its usually for weeks. I need a battery set up that can run the ac in my truck while the truck is off but only running accessories. I don't mind starting and running the truck for like 15-20 min. Trying to just save some money on idling gas usage.

    AC compressor takes power from the crank pulley exclusively. Without the crank spinning there will be no compression of refrigerant back into the liquid state.
