Good questions, was thinking they would keep a normal cheap battery for the normal operations and add a deep cell battery of some sort for continuous draining. On a pick up truck maybe put the extra battery under the box and the other components could be tucked in-between the box side panels. If Ford is reading our ideas and uses them, they should cut us a check.
That's pretty much what I was thinking, but not sure if the normal cheap battery is really adding much value at that point.
Had an additional thought. On the Gen2, and I assume Gen1, the uppfitter switches are only functional while the engine is on. If there is a Gen3 hybrid, would it make sense to run those switches off the generator system and allow the switches to power equipment while the engine is off? I can see where that would be a plus in some cases, but if you use the switches for additional driving lights, I'd rather not have to remember to turn them off manually every time. It would be ideal if the toggles had 3 positions, off, run off engine, run off battery. Or perhaps make the switches configurable to how you want them to operate. Or have a two banks of switches for both conditions or something.
