Redarc – charge it right

Solutions for all situations

-

With so many different options available, it’s hard to know exactly what solution is right for a specific setup. Redarc has broken down the three most popular charging solutions to get a 4WD charged and ready for adventure.

Battery isolator

Perfect for: fixed voltage alternator­s, budget builds and under-bonnet installati­ons.

Cost effective and a great set-andforget option, Redarc’s SBI senses battery voltage and disconnect when a specific voltage is reached, switching to connect and charge the secondary battery. When the alternator stops running, the isolator will disengage the auxiliary battery from the start battery.

DC-to-DC battery charger

For more flexibilit­y or to charge from solar, a DC-to-DC battery charger is the solution. Redarc’s ‘set and forget’ BCDC DC-to-DC chargers can not only detect battery type and provide optimal charge voltage, but they can also take power from solar or the vehicle’s alternator. Perfect for variable voltage alternator­s, Redarc’s BCDC is now available in two models, the traditiona­l BCDC Classic, and the brand-new BCDC Core.

BCDC Classic

Perfect for: installati­on anywhere with exposure to dirt, dust, water or harsh vibrations.

For a charger that can be mounted under the bonnet, the BCDC Classic is the way to go. With fully sealed electronic­s, it’s a charger that can handle anything.

BCDC Core

Perfect for: canopy or in-cabin installati­ons and budget builds

If you’re planning to install your charger into a canopy or the cabin of your vehicle, with no budget it can’t handle, the new BCDC Core could be a great option. It’s perfect for tucking away in a side panel, hiding behind seats or mounting on the power wall of your canopy.

Battery management system

Perfect for: canopy, in-cabin, camper trailer and caravan installati­ons, those who want increased monitoring and an all-in-one solution

Battery management systems combines the functional­ity of a battery isolator and dual battery charger into a single unit. Featuring DC-to-DC battery charging, 240V charging, battery isolation, a load-disconnect controller, solar regulator and remote monitoring all in a single unit, Redarc’s Manager30 is a great option if you’re wanting DC charging and full visibility of your system.
