If you held it down, like a fire truck responding to a call, it would quickly kill your battery. I had one mounted on my old Blazer for a while. It worked fine peaking a few times, but holding it down bogged down the whole electrical system.q2bman wrote:I don't remember the specs but I would imagine the Q runs at 100 amps and may have a surge current near 300 amps. My q Spins up just like the fire rig but on my factory 80 amp alternator and one 650 CCA battery it runs fine. I can run it several times up to full speed. I can even run it while driving and while operateing the heater and headlamps. Maybe in conjunction with your other warning equipment it draws the engine down. Works very well off my Jeep.
Don't alter the Q.Cyrun wrote:Can a Federal Q be converted to run on 110v instead of 12v? I know they pull very high amperage on 12volts.
