With TC battery charging you have several factors, who interact and you can't judge one without considering the other.
- truck charging voltage (that on older trucks changed with rpm)
-voltage drop on long wire (that is changing depends on the amperage)

Those are the issues I learned the hard way, even I never had intention to become electrician. I bet real pro will have more to add.
