Our big 80 amp alternators should easily handle the load through the auxiliary battery system.
I suspect two things here:
The semi trucks don't have 12 V battery systems; 24V minimum and maybe 48.
It's not practical because.....the entire output of an 80 amp, 12 volt alternator only produces 960 watts; not enough to run a very big A/C unit.
