jtoddk98 Posted August 3, 2015 at 10:17 PM Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 at 10:17 PM Hey, Im new to this forum. This week, i'll be trading my 2011 Taurus SHO for a 2016 Fusion Energi Titanium. I currently have a Pioneer 9601 Amp and 2 Sundown 10s in the trunk. I am wondering if the Energi's electrical system can handle the load. In the amps manual, it says it draws 7.5A and consumes close to 50A at full trot. The Taurus has handled it fine as it comes from the factory with a 200A alternator. How big is the alternator/charging system on the Energi? I know the battery is in the trunk on the Energi, so id only need a 3-4ft power cable run to it. Thanks!

jdbob Posted August 3, 2015 at 10:55 PM Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 at 10:55 PM The 12V battery is charged using a DC to DC converter from the High Voltage Battery. The workshop manual says "Depending on the vehicle and environmental conditions, the Direct Current/Direct Current (DC/DC) converter control module is capable of outputting as many as 145 amps to the 12-volt battery."

Have tried searching for subwoofer in these forums? Also try the fordfusionhybridforum site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meyersnole Posted August 4, 2015 at 03:17 AM Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 at 03:17 AM Not sure that the subs are going to fit in the trunk. Have you looked at the space in the trunk for the energi? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
expresspotato Posted August 4, 2015 at 03:50 AM Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 at 03:50 AM 142A is a lot more than I expected... Prius is only about 80A and the leaf is about 100A. Great find I was always curious if I could run a 1,000W inverter off of it during emergencies without killing the DC-DC converter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
