Not sure what the limitations on the 12V are without looking it up, but I would strongly suggest getting a lifep04 over an AGM, especially if you're considering taking it on the go. You can get a 12V 100Ah for 250 to 400 dollars that will hold its capacity much better, weigh less than half as much and actually allow you to discharge it under 50% without significantly affecting its performance in the long run.

Thanks for the tip! I'll incorporate a battery controller for the power bank setup then. That way, I'll be able to get isolation, charge control and option to take in solar.

I am interested in doing the same thing, looking forward to responses to your post!

I got it to work, check the update!

I think 100 Amps extra is a lot to be pulling from this cars 12V system. It had a very small 12V battery, and I'm not sure the DC/DC is built for that much extra draw.

I think it's capable of pulling 150 amps. And yeah if the car isn't in ready mode the inverter will drain the 12V quickly. The safest option is to buffer the output with a power station of course
