P1000 How Many WATTS you running

[ghost]

If I had everything running the rated amperage is 75 amps.
My heaviest load would be on a cold rainy night with most lights on, windshield wipers, seat heaters (yes i'm serious) and the gps and radios taking a full charge it would be about 50 amps.

I have the LE and it has the LED Headlights from the factory, does your rig have the LED Headlights ? Would like to know what they draw

LED head lights are 3 amps and high beams are 1 additional.

Power steering on smooth concrete, vehicle not rolling, working wheel back and forth.

5 amps

Power steering at full lock...

15 amps

 

[joeymt33]

40" light bar labeled as a 240 watt. Actual is 195 watts or 16.2 amps


CP: I've been saying that since that jack wagon was picking Legos from his turds

 

[joeymt33]

My 4 cube lights up front are only 5.5 amps combined.

4" bilge fan is 2.8

That's all I measured for now.

@joeymt33 What are you using to test it ?

I had to change my battery so I hooked a multimeter in line between the cable and battery terminal to take the readings. I took the higher amp readings with a DC clamp meter around the positive wire. Reading were taken with the motor off so the in-flowing current wouldn't mess up the readings.

Thanks for the info I just ordered a clamp style and will be taking reading as I go on all the lights ECT, I will also post them all up under my build and here.
All the leds are Auxbeam seems alot of people run them, can't wait to see what they truly draw

You probably already know this but just in case, make sure the clamp meter will do DC. A lot of the cheaper ones only do AC.

I've got a lot of Amazon lights at the house. I would say maybe 12 different kinds. Most of them are Mictuning or Auxbeam, if anybody's curious, I can take measurements of the individual lights.

I forgot about that - I would have been confused for a while if I did what I planned - lol.
I might try to isolate the incoming and measure outgoing but i'm guessing you would have done that already if it was easy.

Here is what I ordered

Uni-T B4Q094 UT210E True RMS AC/DC Current Mini Clamp M W Capacitance Tester: Amazon.com: Industrial & Scientific

That looks like it'll work for just about every application you want to test except for a winch. I might have to get me one of those too, it's smaller size and smaller clamp would work a lot better in tight spaces.
