Collect more power
from the sun
The 12 volt dual input and 24 volt
auxiliary battery chargers feature a
Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT)
solar regulator allowing the use of solar
power to boostabattery’scharge.
The MPPT solar regulator
delivers the maximum
available amount
of power from solar
panels to the auxiliary
battery, even during low
lightconditions.

The extensive range of In-vehicle Dual Battery Chargers are designed and manufactured in
Australia for Australian conditions. Regardless of which charger you choose, you’ll be assured
of the high quality and reliability that comes with every REDARC product.
With more and more electrical devices being used when travelling
around Australia, along with more complex vehicle electrical systems,
having the right battery charging solution has never been more important.
The REDARC range of In-vehicle Dual Battery Chargers ensure optimum
performance of electrical equipment such as fridges, lights, CPAP
machines and even hydraulic pumps when they’re powered from adual
battery setup.
By employing a unique, multi-stage charging algorithm, the In-vehicle
Dual Battery Chargers have been designed to charge any commonly-used
automotive auxiliary battery to 100% while you’re on the move and from
solar (model dependent).
Unique charging profile
Most vehicle alternators are not designed
to fully charge an auxiliary battery. An
insufficient charge rate will, at best, shorten
the life and performance of the auxiliary battery
but may result in the battery being flat when
leastexpected.
Whether you need an auxiliary battery for leisure
or business, you need an auxiliary battery
charger you can really rely on. A REDARC
In-vehicle Battery Charger will ensure your
auxiliary battery will achieve and maintain an
optimal charge regardless of its type or size.
The charging algorithm has also been
independently verified and tested to ensure
battery life is maximised.
Charging algorithm
The In-vehicle Battery Charger range
features a three stage charging algorithm.
The BCDC1250D features a four stage
chargingalgorithm.
When the vehicle has started charging the main
battery and it reaches the required voltage level
the BCDC/LFP charger will commence charging
the auxiliary battery in boost, The boost stage
maintains a constant current until the battery
reaches its predetermined absorption voltage.
The charger will then remain in the absorption
stage holding its set voltage until the battery is
100% charged.
The charger then switches to the float stage
where it retains 100% charge until a load on
the auxiliary battery causes the battery voltage
to drop below a predetermined voltage where it
then re-enters the boost stage.
The BCDC1250D features an additional
SoftStart stage that increases current flow into
the auxiliary battery over a short period.
The advanced electronics in REDARC’s
In-vehicle Dual Battery Chargers constantly
monitor the auxiliary battery charge to ensure
that your battery always receives the ideal
voltage and current for maximum battery
life and performance. Additionally, a highly
advanced battery isolator, which includes
SmartStart
®
technology, constantly monitors
the vehicle battery charge level, protecting your
start battery from excessive discharge.
If it’s worth having an auxiliary battery, it’s
worth protecting it with a REDARC In-vehicle
Battery Charger.
Connecting in parallel
For batteries requiring a higher charge rate
than our 25, 40 and 50 amp chargers, the
good news is that up to four BCDC In-vehicle
Dual Battery Chargers can be used in parallel.
Many vehicle charging systems, including
smart alternator-equipped vehicles, can
produce in excess of 80 amps of current, over
and above what the vehicle would use under
normalconditions.
In ideal operating conditions, where the
vehicle’s own electrical load, start battery,
vehicle accessories and engine management
systems demands are relatively low and
engine speed is above idle, the alternator will
have some surplus capability. The BCDC is
able to adapt its input current draw to deliver
more power to the auxiliary battery.
Using Adaptive Current Management
technology, the BCDC ensures that, under all
vehicle operating conditions, your auxiliary
battery system is receiving the optimal
charge available from your vehicle without
compromising its safety and reliability.
