Rugged under bonnet 12V 40A DC to DC battery charger. Lithium Compatible
The REDARC BCDC1225D under-bonnet Battery Charger is a 12V 40A DC to DC battery charger, capable of high performance in engine bay installations, potted to survive and thrive against heat, water and dust.
Featuring a Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) solar regulator, the BCDC1225D Classic will charge from both solar and the alternator simultaneously. And, with built-in 'Green Power Priority' it will select solar charging first, meaning less load on the alternator.
Suitable for 12 or 24-volt vehicle systems, the unit will also work with either standard or variable/smart alternators.
The BCDC1240D also comes with patented charging profiles, including a lithium charging profile. The 'Dual' input range will continue to charge all other types of batteries including AGM, GEL, standard lead acid and calcium.
As a guide, the BCDC1240D is used for battery bank sizes over 200AH.
For smaller batteries of 75-200AH REDARC recommends the BCDC1225D.
