• Is a Dust Cover for the Winch End On a Bulldog Winch Available?
  There is only one dust cover offered with the Bulldog Winch Quick-Connect Set for Powersports w/Dust Cover # BDW20047 is because the end where you'd use the included dust cover would also be connected to the battery and if water got in it could cause corrosion. The other end would not have any power going to it and would not need a cover since corrosion wouldn't be possible. You could put dielectric grease # 11755 to protect your pins but other than that there isn't an option since a cover...

• Do I Have to Connect To Battery for 12v Power with RedArc In-Vehicle BCDC
  You will need to connect to the tow vehicle battery in this case. The issue with trying to install and run the RedArc In-Vehicle BCDC # 331-BCDC1225D via the 7 way is that the 10 gauge wiring in a 7 way trailer connector isn't sufficient to provide a charge to your battery. Since this is exactly what you would want to use the BCDC charger for, using it with the 7-Way would almost defeat its purpose so I cannot recommend that you wire it differently in this case. When installing this charger...

• Can Redarc BCDC Charger Be Used with 7-Way Connector to Charge Trailer Battery
  The Redarc In-Vehicle BCDC Battery Charger # 331-BCDC1225D that you referenced could physically be installed so that it uses 12V power from the 7-Way connector on your truck, but it's not going to allow for ideal operation. The problem is that typical trailer connectors use smaller 10 gauge wiring that just isn't capable of allowing enough power to pass through to really charge a battery up. Since this is exactly what you would want to use the BCDC charger for, using it with the 7-Way...

• Why Does the Bulldog Winch Quick-Connect Set Only Come With One Cap
  The Bulldog Winch Quick-Connect Set part # BDW20047 only comes with one cover/plug. The reason for this is because the side attached to the battery would still be live which is the side you would use the plug on as water could get into the connector and cause corrosion issue. The other side would not be powered therefore corrosion issues would not be possible. If you wanted, you could coat the pins with dielectric grease part # 11755 but a cover is not available separately nor is it needed.

• Charging 4 Deep Cycle Batteries Running a Power Inverter with Fridge Plugged in While Traveling
  What you can do is connect the batteries that power the inverter directly to the starter battery on the truck or even an alternator in your 2018 Ford F-450. Keep in mind though that when multiple batteries are connected together it takes a long time to charge all of them up. Instead of using the batteries you could attach the inverter directly to one of the truck batteries so that it will get constant power without depleting the truck batteries. This will allow you to keep your 4 deep...

• How to Protect Bulldog Winch Quick Connectors for Winch Wiring on a Truck
  The Bulldog Winch quick connectors # BDW20047 themselves do not have any sort of cover to protect them from the elements. But what you could do is modify mounting box # RP74641 and that will help protect them. There is no one place that you have to mount the connectors. You can mount them in a place that works best for you. We do sell 10 gauge wire. I recommend # 10-2-1 since it is 2 wires in 1 sheath. It is sold by the foot so if you needed 20 feet you would put 20 in the quantity box.

• Is Larger Gauge Wiring Needed for Redarc In-Vehicle BCDC Battery Charger
  You are correct on both counts for the Redarc In-Vehicle BCDC Battery Charger # 331-BCDC1240D. It is designed to monitor and adjust voltage to give your battery bank the best charge possible and then it also pulls in solar panel power (if you have it equipped) so you'll need to bypass the solar controller in your setup. You need the larger gauge wire on both your truck and trailer side, yes. The Anderson Plug like part # BDW20047 is the preferred method simply because it's designed to...

• Why Do I Need to Use the 60-Amp Relay Kit for a Redarc BCDC Battery Charger
  The reason why Redarc recommends using the 60-Amp Relay Kit # 331-RK1260 and larger Anderson connectors like the kit # BDW20047 when installing the BCDC Battery Charger # 331-BCDC1240D is due to the smaller OEM gauge wire that is used on your 2019 Ford F-150 (and other pickups) for that 12V power. If you think of electricity like water and the wiring like a hose, you want the biggest hose possible at the source (your battery) so you have the most amount of energy getting to the BCDC as...

• Can I Use the 7-Way Connector On My Vehicle To Power the Redarc BCDC
  The Redarc In-Vehicle BCDC Battery Charger # 331-BCDC1225D does require running a heavy gauge wire that will directly connect to the alternator or battery on your tow vehicle. Unfortunately in this case your 7 pin connector will not provide enough power to properly power the BCDC charger and keep your batteries fully charged. With that said, this charger can easily be mounted on your trailer and will provide a great source of charging for your off-road trailer since it doesn't just provide...

• Installing Battery Isolator 08771 in 2002 Ford Excursion
  The way I read this is that you have a crank battery in your tow vehicle, you have or want to install, an auxiliary (Group 31 deep cycle lead acid) battery that will also be in the tow vehicle with use of the battery isolator to charge this battery. However, in addition you want to connect a second similar (Group 31 deep cycle lead acid) battery installed on a trailer, to this same charge circuit. Yes, the drawing that you have attached shows a circuit that will work for charging the...

• When Towing Honda CR-V Behind Motor Home and Running Lights On, it Interferes with Ham Radio
  It sounds like the CR-V has a battery isolator installed that is tied into the running light circuit on the RV. This provides power and charge to the CR-V battery so it isn't dead when you go to drive it. The running light circuit on the motor home has to be connected to the lights on the CR-V but it doesn't have to be connected to a battery isolator. You could instead run the isolator input wire with its own separate connection from the CR-V to the motor home battery via a 40 amp circuit...

• Recommended Wiring for RedArc BCDC Charger Used for Auxiliary Battery to Power Inverter
  To connect your Redarc In-Vehicle BCDC Battery Charger - Dual Input - DC to DC - 12V/24V - 40 Amp # 331-BCDC1240D, you will need the 60-Amp MIDI Fuse Kit for Redarc In-Vehicle 40-Amp BCDC Battery Charger # 331-FK60. This will protect your vehicle and battery from potentially damaging overcurrent from short circuits or overloads. You will run the Red Wire from your RedArc unit to the fuse, and then from the fuse to the positive battery terminal on your vehicle start battery. I've attached...

• How to Power an Electric Trailer Winch from a Tow Vehicle
  There are a few different ways that you could wire up an electric winch to your truck, even if the winch is mounted on a trailer. I do not recommend wiring it to the trailer connector wiring because winches draw a lot of power and trailer wiring is too small to handle that kind of current. Take a look at the help article I have linked for you. The second half covers methods of wiring up a trailer mounted winch. Option 1: Wiring the Winch with Trailer and Vehicle Winch Wiring Kit, is the...

• Installing Redarc BCDC Battery Charger # 331-BCDC1225D for Charging Trailer Battery
  The Redarc In-Vehicle BCDC Battery Charger # 331-BCDC1225D that you referenced is a perfect option to not only maintain the charge on your trailer's battery but actually charge it up during travel. This is because the charger will provide a continuous output of 25 amps (much more than just running a dedicate wire from the tow vehicle's battery to a 7-Way connector). This particular charger also has the ability to accept power input from solar panels for added efficiency if you ever decide...

• How to Tell if Bulldog Winch Quick Connect Will Work With Badlands Winch
  There are many different capacities of Badlands winch so it's not possible to tell you outright if the Bulldog Winch Quick-Connect Set for Powersports w/ Dust Cover - 6 AWG # BDW20047 will work with your Badlands winch. You can pretty easily tell though, as if your winch uses the same 6 AWG you can absolutely use the Bulldog Winch Quick-Connect Set # BDW20047.

• Solution for Charging Auxiliary Trailer Battery Through Truck's 7-Way Connector
  In order to activate the 12V circuit on your truck's 7-Way so that you can maintain the charge on the trailer's auxiliary battery, you just need to run a length of 10 gauge wiring like # 10-1-1 (sold by the foot) through a breaker like # 9510 from the truck battery's positive post to the 12V pin on the 7-Way. This is the pin located at the 1 o'clock position (or 11 o'clock when looking at the backside/inside of the connector). Then from there you would wire the corresponding pin on the...

• What Quick Connects Do I Need to Install Quick Connect On My Bulldog Winch
  It sounds like you're looking for the quick disconnect that goes on the cables of your winch. If you've got a Bulldog winch you can use the Bulldog Winch Quick-Connect Set for Powersports w/Dust Cover - 6 AWG # BDW20047 if your winch has 6 gauge wires; if your winch has 1/0 gauge wires you'll want to use # BDW20172. Using one of these two parts will allow you to put the quick disconnect ends on your Bulldog winch. Once you've installed these on your winch, you'll be able to use the Bulldog...

• Can 2 AWG Be Used on the Superwinch Winch 2 Go 4000
  The Superwinch Winch 2 Go 4000 comes with 6 AWG. Therefore the correct quick-disconnect terminal would be part # BDW20047 which is rated for 6-10 AWG, not part # BDW20133 which is rated for 2-4 AWG. In order to use the quick-disconnect terminal rated for 2-4 AWG, you would also need to change out the wires in the box that run from the ring terminals on the winch to the quick-disconnect terminal on the back of the box.

• Recommended Wiring for DC to DC Charger and Wireless Brake Controller Compatiblility
  The Tekonsha Prodigy RF Wireless Trailer Brake Controller works as a 12V pass through so you will get the same voltage but your are correct about the amperage. The Redarc In-Vehicle BCDC Battery Charger # 331-BCDC1225D could absolutely pull more amperage than what the Prodigy will allow through so you could splice into your wiring prior to the controller, but that isn't my recommendation. The best work around to ensure you have the battery charging you desire is to use the Winch Quick...

• Quick Connects and Wiring Recommendation for Use with a 4,500 lb Winch
  The Bulldog Quick Connects # BDW20047 that you referenced are designed to be used on wire that is from 6-10 gauge. Since you have 6 gauge wire you would be just fine. This does not come with any wire, and to determine if your winch requires circuit breakers installed on the power line you will need to check the owners manual of the winch or the manufacturer. For a kit that includes the wiring you would want the part # BDW20043. This kit would then use quick connects like # BDW20018. These...

• Fuel Pump Kill Switch Theft Deterrents Recommendation
  Sounds like you are trying to make a kill switch for your fuel pump as a theft deterrent. What I would recommend you do is instead of quick disconnects that could easily be reconnected if a thief were to find it, I would use a fuse holder like the part # FLX30357K as a kill switch. This way whenever you leave your vehicle you could pull the fuse and take it with you so that unless the thief happened to have fuses on him (he won't) he wouldn't be able to hotwire your vehicle. He also wouldn't...
