In theory a fully size truck battery has about 1.2 kwhr,
However due to peukert at high discharge rates you get maybe 1/10 of that “usable “ and lifespan would be very poor.
At the end of the day this isn’t a real hybrid but just a start stop system
You would get the initial feel of more horsepower but it would quickly taper away
My hope is this system allows the truck to EOC at any speed when in neutral, if it can’t keep the fuel off at all times during deceleration it won’t improve fuel economy much by itself
Ah well, baby steps.
