Average Starter Amp Draw. In-rush 354 x 1HP x 1000 120V 295 Amps. If you connect too many devices that draw more amperes then the circuit can handle it will lead to a short circuit and you dont want that to happen as it can lead to a variety of problems.
For most domestic fridges the amperage ranges between 3 and 5 in the case of 120 V. Same for the truck - dont worry about it. However if the MB 5 Cyl draws much more than 80 amps which is what I suspect I will likely get two BICs as it will handle the additional current when I combine the two batteries in the winter for a cold Canadian start.
What should normal starter amp draw be.
Regardless the loaded reading should be no more than 4A more than the unloaded reading.

In reply to Tx Jim 06-14-2014 041719 300 amps is probably a good rule of thumb. But you have to enter in some other variables that can change the amount of draw.
