did you ever get an answer to this query? I was wondering the same as i wanted to know whether to use LV or standard redarc bcdc40 charger for dual battery install?

I believe Gen8 Hilux is Euro VI emission rated (at least the 1GD-FTV)and have ECU Controlled Variable Voltage Alternators
These engines will require the LV variant for 1225 and 1240 models

I have a genuine dual battery kit and it comes with a Redarc BCDC1220IGN if that helps.

i am yet to see one however have info suggesting that they are now ecu controlled and will require a ignition triggered dc - dc charger

Anyone have any news on this?? I to need to find out.

Haven't confirmed myself but on the dual battery thread one of the guys mentioned he had rung redarc and they had confirmed that the standard dc-dc charger would work fine.

I have put one of those volt meters in the cig lighter plug for a few days and it reads fairly constantly between 13.9 and 14 volts.
I assume this would be the same or close to the alternator output unless there is some kind of booster or something in the circuit?

I did the same in my previous Ranger and it would drop to 12.5V under load from memory.

Anyone know what amps the alternator is?? Looking at fitting 3 185w led lights and dont want to over load it.

Not sure if there is a difference, but I ripped out my CTEK 250S out of my 2009 and put it straight into my 2016. No probs, working fine (so far)

I believe it's 80A.
