When it comes to outfitting your work truck, choosing the right electrical system is crucial. Two main options dominate the scene: 12V DC and 120V AC. But which one is right for you?
12V DC vs. 120V AC
Here’s a breakdown to help you decide:
12V DC: Safe, Simple, and Portable
- Safety First: Lower voltage translates to a lower risk of electrical shock, making 12V ideal for wet environments or frequent operator contact.
- Simple Setup: 12V systems often require less complex wiring, perfect for quick installations and modifications.
- Portable Power: Many common work truck accessories, like radios, chargers, and some LED lighting, are designed for 12V, offering easy power on the go with a deep-cycle battery.
120V AC: Powerhouse Performance
- Heavy-Duty Applications: Need to run power tools, high-wattage lighting, or specialized equipment? 120V AC delivers the muscle for demanding tasks.
- Grid Compatibility: Easily connect to external power sources like generators or shore power with a 120V system, ideal for extended job sites.
- Wider Appliance Range: Many appliances and tools are built for 120V AC, offering more selection for your work truck needs.
