You can rely on this REDARC 12v battery charger if you're going into the wilderness and want to enjoy all the creatures comforts of home. Frozen margs on the beach? NO WORRIES mate. This 12V battery charger is a 25A in-vehicle DC to DC battery charger designed with the highest quality technology from REDARC. We’ve also thrown in a free 18w flood light so you can light up your next camping trip in style!

This Redarc battery monitor and charger is used for charging your car batteries, as well as secondary batteries whilst travelling remotely. The Redarc battery management system has the most recent version of REDARC's in-vehicle charging technology, which simultaneously charges from solar and DC inputs. The Redarc 12v battery charger is one of the most advanced twin battery chargers on the market. This advanced technology has improved battery charging with the next evolution of REDARC's DC to DC charging technology. The REDARC battery charger can charge from both the solar panel and the alternator at the same time since it has a Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) solar regulator. Not to mention it comes with a very easy DIY 12v battery wiring guide so all the home sparkys out there can give it a red hot crack. If you’re not sure, no harm in taking your set up into an auto electrician, better safe than stuck.

This Redarc 25AH 12v battery charger, which has a Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) solar regulator, will charge from the sun and the alternator concurrently. Additionally, the Redarc battery charger/monitor will choose solar charging first thanks to built-in "Green Power Priority," which reduces the burden on the alternator. The device is appropriate for 12 volt 4WD/caravan & camper electrical systems and is compatible with both normal and variable/smart alternators. The REDARC 12v battery charger is compatible with charging AGM, Gel, Standard Lead Acid, Calcium, and LiFePO4 batteries since it has the same unique charging profiles as its predecessor and a new lithium charging profile. The Redarc BCDC 12v battery charger is award-winning technology that has been independently validated and tested to guarantee maximum battery life and a battery charge of a known 100 percent. The Australian-made, specially-tested DC to DC 12v battery charger and battery management system is unaffected by water, dust, or vibration. It can operate in the scorching Simpson Desert heat up to 80°C and can cross deep water at Cape York as it is water resistant.

Electrical set ups. They can be daunting at first and if you don’t have a sparky mate, choosing a system can take months of research. There are literally thousands of different ways you can hook up a battery. Words like: series, parallel, dual, alternator, fuses, currents, amps, watts, volts... if you tuned out just then, a Hard Korr battery box is probably for you. The Hard Korr battery box has all of this wrapped up into one unit. One of the simplest set ups you can possibly bring with you on a camping trip is just a set of portable solar panels, a battery and Hard Korr battery box. This allows you to charge your phone, your speaker and runs your fridge all at once.

Enjoying a cold beer and some tunes on the beach, just got easier. This heavy-duty Hard Korr battery box allows you to turn a regular deep-cycle battery into a convenient portable power station or create a simple dual battery setup using the optional 50A Voltage-Sensitive Relay (VSR) and Dual Battery Wiring Kit. It is suitable for a range of battery types including AGM, Lithium, Wet, Gel and Calcium, and can handle batteries up to 330mm (l) x 180mm (w) x 240mm (h) in size.

Constructed of durable ABS plastic and meeting the UL 94V-0 standard for flammability of plastic products, this battery box is a high-quality unit that will last for many years. It contains two 12v outlets with 10A fuses, a dual USB outlet, four 50A Anderson-style outlets that can be used as outputs or inputs, and a 175A Anderson-style outlet which can be used as a jump-starter. Unlike most other models on the market, all Anderson-style ports are recessed into the body to minimise the possibility of damage, and the internal cabling uses heavy-gauge wire and quality connectors. This plug and play system is so user friendly that anyone can set it up. A good quality battery will last year's inside a Hard Korr battery box. The battery can be charged from a range of sources (including solar panels) by simply plugging into one of the 50A Anderson-style ports. The battery’s charge status and voltage can be easily seen via the large digital display.

Key features:

• Constructed from UL 94V-0 compliant ABS plastic
• Multiple port types allow connection to a range of devices
• Easily connect a DC/DC charger or solar panel to charge the battery, or use the optional 50A Voltage-Sensitive Relay (VSR) and Dual Battery Wiring Kit to charge directly from crank battery (VSR can only be installed in older vehicles without a smart alternator, refer to our product review in our blog section for more details)
• Can be used to jump start vehicles (175A Anderson jumper cables set is an optional extra)
• All ports are recessed into the body to reduce likelihood of damage
• Easily see battery status with a large digital display
• Using a battery box combined with a VSR is the easiest way to create a dual battery setup in your vehicle.
