• Charger Recommendation for Charging Battery of Dump Trailer
  For a charger for your trailer's battery the best option we have is the Redarc In-Vehicle BCDC Battery Charger # 331-BCDC1240D which is designed for putting up to a 40 amp charge on a battery that is rated higher than 200 amp-hours. The fuse kit you'll need then is the # 331-FK60. I know it's not exactly inexpensive but charging a larger battery while towing requires a special charger setup. For a 7-way with junction box to make wiring up the lighting and braking of your trailer the...

• How To Attach the Redarc In-Vehicle BCDC Battery Charger To the Start Battery
  The Redarc In-Vehicle BCDC Battery Charger part # 331-BCDC1250D needs to be installed on the trailer, next to the service/auxiliary batteries. That said, this now means you must run a wire from the Redarc In-Vehicle BCDC Battery Charger to the start battery in your vehicle. The correct size wire to use will vary based on total length as you mentioned. I recommend you go pretty large so you don't have to worry about issues with length or voltage drop. We actually have a kit that will work...

• RV Battery Charger and Portable Solar Panel System for Boondocking
  Yes, Redarc DC to DC battery charger # 331-BCDC1240D is the right choice for charging your trailer's 540-amp battery bank.

Use the heaviest gauge wire you can for all connections. Redarc recommends 6-gauge for runs up to 16-feet and 4-gauge for longer runs; this applies to battery input power, solar...

• Recommended RV Shore Power to Lithium Battery RV Converter and Engine Alternator to Lithum Charger
  The Progressive Dynamics PD9100 Series Inteli-Power Converter - Lithium - 12 Volts - 60 Amps # PD9160ALV will allow up to 60 amps power draw. It sounds like you are able to pull more, so I recommend upgrading to the 80 amp # PD9180ALV. This will charge your batteries in about 2 hours give or take. If you want to charge your battery while driving, I recommend the Redarc In-Vehicle BCDC Battery Charger - Dual Input - DC to DC - 12V/24V - 40 Amp # 331-BCDC1240D along with the 60-Amp...

  If you add the Go Power Weekender Solar Charging System Item # 34282183 with a Lifepo battery to your 2021 Winnebago Hike 171db you would replace you house battery with the lithium battery. As long as you retain all the original wiring you would maintain the charging process from the vehicle while towing. There is no way to add a separate battery in parallel with the electrical system and have it run trailer loads. It is recommended to add a battery isolator and dc to dc converter so the...

• What Is Actually Required to Install the Redarc In-Vehicle BCDC Battery Charger
  In regards to the Redarc In-Vehicle BCDC Battery Charger part # 331-BCDC1240D, there are indeed a bunch of add-on's as the battery charger can be used in conjunction with other Redarc products such as the Manager 30 and RedVision.

• Recommendation for Installing the Redarc BCDC Battery Charger for Truck Bed Camper

• RedArc BCDC Battery Charger Compatibility with Variable Voltage System and AGM Batteries

• Does 60-Amp Relay Kit for Redarc In-Vehicle BCDC Battery Charger Need Connecting to Ignition Source
  The 60-Amp Relay Kit for Redarc In-Vehicle BCDC Battery Charger # 331-RK1260 does not eliminate the need for the blue wire ignition feed on a truck with a smart alternator, which your 2018 Chevy Colorado does have, according to my research (to know for sure you can take a look at the battery, as there should be a battery sensor on one of the terminals). The relay kit's purpose is to give you a short cut to if it is difficult to run the ignition feed, so it is not absolutely necessary....

• Will 130A Alternator in 2019 Toyota 4Runner be Enough to Work with a 40A Charger
  It sounds like you're referring to the 40A Redarc In-Vehicle BCDC Battery Charger # 331-BCDC1240D for use with your setup. When it comes to chargers it's a little more about what kind of battery bank you're trying to charge up than how much output the alternator has. With that being said, I reached out to my contact at Redarc and he said that you can typically count on about half of your alternator power being able to switch over to their charger systems so your 130A is definitely high...

• Recommended In-Vehicle Battery Charger for House Battery on Ford Transit
  The Redarc Smart Start Battery Isolator # 331-SBI212D referenced in your question will install between your Ford Transit's start battery and house battery. This will essentially pull power from either battery in an effort to keep both charged. It can potentially charge the house battery to 100%, but this is dependent on the start battery being completely charged as well, which likely won't be the case for the most part. This particular product isn't so much a standard battery charger, but...

• Recommended Truck Camper Dual Battery Charging System
  The NOCO # NOC34FR On-Board Battery Charger will work for a shore power to battery power charger for batteries up to 120 amp hours. Most truck campers will instead use a DC to DC charger for the camper batteries. If your batteries are under 200 amp hours, I recommend the Redarc In-Vehicle BCDC Battery Charger - Dual Input - DC to DC - 12V/24V - 25 Amp # 331-BCDC1225D and if they are over 200 amp hours then you will want # 331-BCDC1240D.

• 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...

• Installing Redarc 331-BCDC1240D DC to DC Battery Charger For Charging Trailer Mounted Winch Battery
  The small gauge wire feeding the 12-v supply feed to the 7-way wouldn't have enough capacity to power the charger, the charger would need to connect directly to the tow vehicle battery using 4 gauge wire, according to the instructions I've linked to and the installation diagrams I've provided. You'll also need a fuse kit like # 331-FK60. I've also linked to an installation video and a help article.

• Recommended Vehicle To Trailer DC to DC Charger for Multiple Trailer Batteries
  Your auxiliary power wire gauge at your 7-way along with the discontinued CTEK40186 will be sufficient to charge your trailer batteries. The CTEK D250S will amplify the signal from your auxiliary power to boost it to 20 amps versus the 2-3 amps of a system without the CTEK unit. Changing your gauge of wire to 8 and adding the # DL24086 connections will help slightly but if you are wanting to charge multiple batteries well and more quickly/efficiently, you really will want the discontinued...

• Charging Trailer When Truck Engine Is Running
  You're correct that the 12 volt power circuit from your truck will not effectively charge a trailer battery that is being used to power hungry electrical loads such as a fridge, lights, inverter, etc. The best way to charge a trailer battery is by using the Redarc In-Vehicle BCDC Battery Charger # 331-BCDC1225D (25A model) or # 331-BCDC1240D (40A model). These products also have an inbuilt MPPT solar regulator and battery isolator function. The solar regulator will allow you to charge the...

• Will 40 Amp Redarc In-Vehicle BCDC Battery Charger Interfere With 7-Way
  The 40 amp Redarc In-Vehicle BCDC Battery Charger # 331-BCDC1240D will not interfere with the 7-way on your vehicle, though it is recommended to route separate wiring to the charger so that enough power gets to it, as a 7-way uses smaller gauge wire. So due to this you can use both at the same time if you'd like, though a 7-way will only maintain smaller batteries instead of charging them. So for charging batteries you will want to use the 40 amp Redarc In-Vehicle BCDC Battery Charger #...

• Will Redarc Manager30 Work With 240V Power Supply?
  The Manager30 Battery Management System with Lithium Profile # 331-BMS1230S2-NA is only designed for 110V. We don't carry the 240V version you referenced as it isn't compatible with North America shore power so you would need to get a 240v to 110v step down power converter. If you are willing to move away from the shore power charger to a battery power charger, we have a solution for your Lithium battery.
