Strap in and get ready to enjoy the most advanced dual battery charger on the market! The REDARC DC-DC smart battery charger is a 12V 40A In-Vehicle Battery Charger that can draw from a 12V solar input or a 12V alternator input. Designed to charge your auxiliary batteries to 100% while driving, the REDARC 40ah battery charger comes with a range of features that make it the perfect battery charger for off-roaders and campers. REDARC comes with the same charging profiles as earlier models, but adds a brand new lithium charging profile to the mix. The REDARC battery charger is suitable for AGM, Gel, Standard Lead Acid, Calcium and LiFePO4 batteries which means there's almost no car battery it can't charge!  Featuring a Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) solar regulator, the BCDC1240D will charge from both solar and the alternator simultaneously. With built-in 'Green Power Priority' it will select solar charging first, meaning less load on the alternator. Suitable for 12v vehicle systems, the unit will also work with either standard or variable/smart alternators.

And if you've got solar panels installed, the REDARC features a Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) solar regulator that allows it to draw power simultaneously from both the solar panels and the alternator, while the built-in Green Power Priority draws as much power as possible from the solar panels before dipping into power from the alternators. After all, who doesn't like free power from the sun? The REDARC also comes with handy features to extend the life of your batteries. Not only does its three-stage DC to DC charging keeps your auxiliary battery charged at the optimum level, the Redarc DC-DC battery charger also acts as a dual battery isolator to protect your starter battery when the voltage drops below appropriate levels. Like the rest of the REDARC BCDC series, the REDARC DC-DC battery charger has been tested in the extreme heat of the Simpson Desert (up to 80 degrees Celcius - yep, that's hot!) and in the deep water crossings of Cape York. There's nothing this Aussie-made battery charger can't handle! The REDARC Smart Battery Charger is delivered with a 2-year manufacturer's warranty covering faults and material defects.

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.
