u REDARC In-vehicle Dual Battery Chargers Built tough for Australian conditions ® REDARC’s range of In-vehicle Dual Battery Chargers are designed, built and tested in Australia for our unique conditions to make sure they won’t let you down. With features like fully sealed construction and fan-free cooling - water, dust and vibration are no match for the In-vehicle Dual Battery Charger, you can be assured they can handle the roughest tracks in outback Australia and the deepest water crossings at Cape York. REDARC’s knowledge of Australian conditions is engineered into every unit. Models in the BCDC and LFP In-vehicle Dual Battery Charger range operate up to a market-leading 80°C meaning they are going to work in even the most extreme heat of the Simpson Desert. A higher operating temperature and compact in size also allows for flexible installation options, from the engine bay to inside a van or camper trailer. Look at all the benefits… ■■ Multi-stage charging saves you money by maximising battery life ■■ Increase run time of loads like fridges and lights ■■ Allows for flexible installation in 12 or 24 volt vehicles ■■ Overcomes voltage drop caused by long cable runs MADE IN AUSTRALIA The BCDC and LFP In-vehicle Dual Battery Charger range The REDARC BCDC & LFP ranges feature a wide 9-32 volt input range, allowing an auxiliary battery to be charged from either a 12 or 24 volt vehicle electrical system. All models incorporate dual battery isolation as well as fault recognition that includes protection against voltage spikes, overheating and reverse polarity connection, to ensure complete protection of all your batteries. 12 volt auxiliary battery chargers There are four different output current options to choose from - 6, 20, 25 or 40 amp - to charge lead acid auxiliary batteries while driving. The 25 and 40 amp models also feature a fully integrated MPPT solar regulator, extracting the maximum amount of power from solar panels to charge an auxiliary battery, even during low light conditions. WITH MPPT SOLAR REGULATOR BCDC1206 BCDC1220, BCDC1220-IGN BCDC1225, BCDC1225-LV 24 volt auxiliary battery chargers To meet the demands of 24 volt auxiliary battery charging, a 24 volt, 20 amp charger is available. It also features a fully integrated MPPT solar regulator. The BCDC2420 is ideally suited for charging 24 volt battery banks used for powering electric hydraulic pumps, tailgate lifters, spreader decks, ramps and sleeper cab air-conditioning systems. The applications are endless. WITH MPPT SOLAR REGULATOR BCDC2420 12 volt auxiliary lithium iron phosphate chargers The lithium iron phosphate (LFP) range has been developed specifically for LiFePO4 12 volt auxiliary batteries and have a unique, two stage charging profile. Lithium batteries require a specific charging condition in order to operate correctly, the battery itself must have an in-built cell management system. REDARC have designed a charging profile to complement these in-built systems. There is the option of 25 or 40 amp charging output, to suit the battery size, required charge rate and application. The LFP chargers also feature a fully integrated MPPT solar regulator. WITH MPPT WITH MPPT SOLAR SOLAR REGULATOR LFP1225, LFP1225-LV REGULATOR LFP1240, LFP1240-LV WITH MPPT SOLAR REGULATOR BCDC1240, BCDC1240-LV 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 BCDC and LFP 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. Works best with... REDARC has a comprehensive range of accessories including fuse kits, relays, cables, connectors and mounting hardware to complete your installation. By employing a unique, multi-stage charging algorithm, BCDC and LFP 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 (if available) when you’ve stopped. 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. set point. The LFP charger will then move to constant voltage stage, this stage keeps the battery at 100% charge. When a load is applied to the battery and the battery voltage drops, the LFP charger will move back into constant current stage. Whether you need an auxiliary battery for leisure or business, you need an auxiliary battery charger you can really rely on, the REDARC BCDC or LFP in-vehicle battery charger will ensure your auxiliary battery will achieve and maintain an optimal charge regardless of its type or size. The advanced electronics in the BCDC and LFP in-vehicle chargers constantly monitors the vehicle battery input charge to ensure that your auxiliary battery always receives the ideal voltage and current for maximum battery life and performance. Additionally a highly advanced battery isolator constantly monitors the vehicle battery input charge level, protecting your start battery from excessive discharge. The charging algorithm has also been independently verified and tested to ensure battery life is maximised. If it’s worth having an auxiliary battery, it’s worth protecting it with a REDARC In-vehicle Battery Charger Charging algorithm ECU-controlled variable voltage alternators The BCDC In-vehicle Battery Charger range features a three stage charging algorithm. When the vehicle has started charging the main battery and it reaches the required voltage level the BCDC 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 BCDC charger will then remain in the absorption stage holding its set voltage until the battery is 100% charged. The BCDC charger then switches to the ‘float’ stage where it retains the 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 LFP In-vehicle Battery Chargers feature a two stage charging algorithm. When the LFP commences charging the auxiliary battery it will charge in a constant current stage, this stage maintains a constant current until the battery voltage reaches its Relay kit - RK1260 Why do I need the BCDC1220-IGN, BCDC1225/40-LV or LFP1225/40-LV A number of late model vehicles on the market have ECU-controlled variable voltage alternators to achieve better fuel economy and increased performance. These systems vary the voltage from the alternator based on driving conditions. When the alternator voltage is low, the system voltage can drop below 12.7 volts turning the standard BCDC, LFP or isolator off. In these instances we recommend using our BCDC‑IGN or BCDC/LFP-LV. The BCDC1220-IGN and BCDC/LFP1225/40-LV operate on an ignition input, switching the units on and off with the vehicle ignition. They feature lower voltage settings so they can continue to operate with a low input voltage from the alternator. Fuse kits - FK40, FK60 and FK100 Gauge value packs If visual monitoring of a 12 volt dual battery setup is required, REDARC have a range of BCDC In-vehicle Dual Battery Chargers, each packaged with a G52‑VVA dual voltage gauge.
