This Tekonsha Two Stage 12 V DC Battery Charger, part # 2024-07, is designed to charge 12 volt systems while being used on a 12 volt power source like your truck has.

However, the # 2024-07 is designed for maintaining smaller batteries that go through extended periods of not being used. It is not designed to charge a larger vehicle battery like the one you have in your truck.

I would recommend you use a CTEK MULTI US 7002 12-Volt Universal Battery Charger w/ Pulse Maintenance, part # CTEK56353. This charger is designed to be used on cars, campers, trucks, boats, etc, and would work very well for you.

I attached a review video of this product below for you to check out, as well as instruction links.
