So a few questionsmoke. Can and we're (places to hookup to the 1st etorque pack)would l add what 2 or 3-0 welding cable, a second etorque pack? What's gonna happen?
How do turn up the etorque system if it can? to say 220ftlbs for my pentastar 12.to 1 compression system.

Or factory power cable.

If this is a legit question,i think the OP would be better off buying a 5.7 truck with the e-torque instead of trying to turn his 3.6 etorque truck into a 96V etorque 3.6.For one thing i don't think the belt drive would handle that output for very long,and i'm not sure how you'd get the computor to handle a 96V system or charge it when it's wired in series.

It is an attempt to make the system stronger, or more locomotive like a train, l would probably add a 48volt alternator via brackets if the Remy can't charge l need to look at it. Who's messing with the etorque systems? I like the way the pentastar etorque mounts cleanly and the hemi 24valve flows ported.

Only way you're going to get more power out it,is to up the voltage,and to get to 220 lb-ft like you're wanting,you'd need 96 volts. Adding a bigger 48 volt battery pack won't give you anymore power out of the system,all it'll do is add time to the voltage output you already have. What you're attempting is like adding a bigger 12 volt battery to a vehicle,you still have the same amount of voltage,but the bigger battery adds time to how long that 12 volts lasts

Hybrid drivetrain battery charging systems are fairly advanced in tracking how much power goes in and out of the battery pack. You'll most likely need to be able to modify the programming for controlling the battery charging to be able to utilize a larger capacity battery.

I need to get locomotive software if that etorque motor can do anymore? Or software for the 5.7 etorque motor on a pentastar

If eco mode is on more 3 cylinders fuel mileage will go way up to 38 40mpg

The 4xe gets bad diesel mileage. These things are nearly 7000lbs

OP, instead of all the hybrid changes and such, why not wait and get one of those Fancy REV RAMS when they come out? They be all electric, with the instant electric motor power and such. But, yer wallet, and brainstorming, good luck on whateva U do.

A 100watts panel with a pwm is a 5amp battery maintainer charger the 100 watt panel is like 42" x21" l have room for 300 watts that's it. I'm gonna have 11-15amps of solar power.
My crazy 5.2 won't idle yet without the ****** needle moving.
Surprised the stock alternator system hasn't caught on fire

Any body got the (off-road) Texas Diablo sport 2 tuner
