Video Transcript for Redarc 60-Amp MIDI Fuse Kit Review
Today, we're going to be taking a look at Redarc's midi fuse kit. These are available in forty, sixty or one hundred amps. Many of our customers compare these to standard automotive fuses or circuit breakers and the main reason you would want to opt for this fuse over a standard automotive fuse is that the fuse attachment points are screwed down. This ensures that there will be a good connection between our fuse and our circuits for those high amp drawing components.Circuit breakers can typically build heat under long periods of exposure to high amperage draw, which could cause extra resistance and potentially cause that circuit breaker to pop, requiring you to disconnect it to reset it. Whereas these, don't build as much heat and are going to be more suited for those high amp applications these are going to be heavy duty fuses that will give you overload protection for whatever circuits you install them on. What this means, is if you have a short or fault on a circuit on the other side of the fuse, rather than it causing damage to the wiring and circuits on your vehicle, it simply opens the fuse, allows you to make the repairs that you need to fix that wiring and then simply replace it with a new fuse.The kits come with two fuse holders, four fuses and four ring terminals to make connections for your wiring to connect to your fuses on each side.
To mount it, you will need to provide your own screws, they don't come included with the kit. We just use some self tapping screws here, to get this one mounted. Depending on where you mount it, you may want to use a different type of attachment point.Typical applications use this form for high current drawing components, such as numerous lights inside of a camper or RV. We're using ours with our BCDC charging system on our camper here. And, that completes our look at Redarc's midi fuse kit..

Tried to cheap out and not use the recommended Redarc fuses during my 40 amp BCDC install. Bad decision. Similar fuses overheated and failed but not before melting some of the wiring. When I repaired damage I used the recommended Redarc fuses and have had no further issues.
by: RBrew04/04/2022
This Redarc FK60 fuse kit seems well designed. Inclusion of lugs and extra fuses is very nice for installation and maintenance. Presuming the fuses function properly, this should be a solid and durable addition to a quality electrical instrument install.

Midi fuse is working great. I did use a #4 cable on wiring.

Very disappointed in this Redarc product. This fuse kit is recommended specifically for use with the redarc 40Amp BCDC battery charger. The Charger recommends 6 Guage or 4 Guage wiring to be used, I my case had to use 4 Guage due to distance from car's battery. However the provided crimp connectors are too small and the housing does not have space to accommodate a 4 guage crimp connector.
To salvage the situation, had to buy separate 4 Guage crimp connectors, use a dremel to grind off some of the plastic housing and then use a velcro strap to keep the housing closed because the housing wasn't designed for a 4 Guage connection.
by: Larry09/18/2021
I brag about this to other van owners. It gives me more charge from the alternator to my batteries than other brands or products. 40+ amps over about 14 feet of probably six gauge wire from a 130 amp alternator.
Stellar tech support!

- What Gauge Wire Works With The Redarc In-Vehicle 40-Amp BCDC Battery ChargerRedarc recommends using a 6-gauge wire for runs up to 16' and 4-gauge for runs longer runs for the 60-Amp MIDI Fuse Kit for Redarc In-Vehicle 40-Amp BCDC Battery Charger, part # 331-FK60. I have included a video review link below.
view full answer... - Is Dedicated Isolator Needed When Adding Redarc BCDC Charger to Charger Battery Bank on TruckThe Redarc In-Vehicle BCDC Battery Charger # 331-BCDC1240D you plan on adding to your setup (along with all of Redarc's BCDC chargers) feature built-in isolation technology that will prevent you from draining the Silverado's starting battery. Because of this an additional dedicated isolator is not needed. You will want to add 60 amp MIDI fuses for the input and output of the BCDC Charger (red and brown wires). These should be placed as close to each battery positive terminal as possible....
view full answer... - Installing Redarc 331-BCDC1240D DC to DC Battery Charger For Charging Trailer Mounted Winch BatteryThe 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.

- What Is Actually Required to Install the Redarc In-Vehicle BCDC Battery ChargerIn 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. That said, all you really need to get setup and charging your battery/batteries would be the 60-Amp MIDI Fuse Kit part # 331-FK60 (For 40 Amp Models) and some misc. primary wire for power and ground etc. which you can pick up locally. The rest of the stuff you...

I've attached the photo showing how to connect the batteries in series for that 24v output. You also will want the 60-Amp MIDI Fuse Kit for Redarc In-Vehicle 40-Amp BCDC Battery Charger # 331-FK60 for that installation.

- Will 40 Amp Redarc In-Vehicle BCDC Battery Charger Interfere With 7-WayThe 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 #...
view full answer... - Will RedArc Battery Charger Work With Solar Panel and 7-Way to Charge Camper BatteryI reached out to a representative of Redarc who told me that the Redarc In-Vehicle BCDC Battery Charger # 331-BCDC1240D is the correct charger for your application and there will be no interference or conflict with the charges the battery is getting from the solar set up. The input to the BCDC Charger will be sourced from your F-250's start battery (which is going to be on the passenger's side of your 2-battery set-up) with the 60-Amp MIDI Fuse Kit for Redarc In-Vehicle 40-Amp BCDC Battery...
view full answer... - Will the Redarc In-Vehicle BCDC Battery Charger Work w/ My Tundra's 130 Amp Alternator?The 130 amp alternator in your 2014 Toyota Tundra is definitely high enough for the Redarc In-Vehicle BCDC Battery Charger - Dual Input - DC to DC - 12V/24V - 40 Amp item # 331-BCDC1240D. I reached out to my contact at Redarc and he said that almost half of your alternator power will be able to switch over to their charger systems. You are going to need a fuse kit. I recommend the 60-Amp MIDI Fuse Kit for Redarc In-Vehicle 40-Amp BCDC Battery Charger item # 331-FK60.
view full answer... - Will 130A Alternator in 2019 Toyota 4Runner be Enough to Work with a 40A ChargerIt 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...
view full answer... - Does Input Current Have to be 40 Amps for Redarc In-Vehicle BCDC Battery ChargerThe input current does not have to be 40 amps for the Redarc In-Vehicle BCDC Battery Charger # 331-BCDC1240D. In fact, the 40 amps is the maximum input current as opposed to the minimum. To install this charger you will also need the Fuse Kit # 331-FK60. As you mentioned, there is a smaller capacity charger with a maximum input current of 25 amps, the Redarc In-Vehicle BCDC Battery Charger # 331-BCDC1225D. The correct fuse kit for this charger is Fuse Kit # 331-FK40. I have added links...
view full answer... - Charging Trailer When Truck Engine Is RunningYou'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...
view full answer... - Are Redarc Battery Chargers # BCDC1225D and # BCDC1240D Compatible with AGM and Lithium BatteriesYes, both of the BCDC Redarc batteries, part # 331-BCDC1225D and part # 331-BCDC1240D, are compatible with AGM, gel, standard lead acid, calcium, and Lithium ion (LiFePO4) batteries. The wiring configuration will be very similar between the two. You will just need a low voltage disconnect when using the Lithium Ion battery as you can see in the attached photos. To get the proper fuses you will need the 40-Amp MIDI Fuse Kit # 331-FK40 for part # 331-BCDC1225D, or the 60-Amp MIDI Fuse Kit...

- Adding and Charging Two 6V Batteries to Trailer Battery Bank for Desert CampingJust to make sure I understand correctly, you have two 6V batteries in the bed of your 2017 Ford F-350 that you will connect to the battery bank on your bumper pull trailer. If you have your 6V batteries connected to your in-bed 7-Way at the same time as your bumper pull trailer (with batteries) then that could very well have blown something on the pickup side of things. You'll want to check with your local Ford dealer about how to get the trailer module changed out or you'll need to run...

- Does 60-Amp Relay Kit for Redarc In-Vehicle BCDC Battery Charger Need Connecting to Ignition SourceThe 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....

- RedArc BCDC Battery Charger Compatibility with Variable Voltage System and AGM BatteriesThe Redarc In-Vehicle BCDC Battery Charger - Dual Input - DC to DC - 12V/24V - 40 Amp # 331-BCDC1240D is designed to work with smart alternators like yours when you use the 60-Amp Relay Kit for Redarc In-Vehicle BCDC Battery Charger # 331-RK1260. You will also need to use the 60-Amp MIDI Fuse Kit for Redarc In-Vehicle 40-Amp BCDC Battery Charger # 331-FK60. This prevents your alternator being overloaded and it won't back-feed your alternator either. This system is rated for AGM or Lithium...

- Comparing CTEK D250S and SmartPass vs Redarc DC-DC ChargerI reached out to my contact at CTEK and the CTEK D250S Dual Battery Charger 12V- 20a, 5 step, Heavy Duty CTEK40186 (discontinued) does utilize the Maximum Power Point Tracker (MPPT) as well. When partnered with the (discontinued) Smartpass CTEK56676 you will be able to run your fridge/freezer as you stated. The Redarc In-Vehicle BCDC Battery Charger # 331-BCDC1240D will also be able to accomplish this so it is a better option for this application. You will also need the fuse kit # 331-FK60...
view full answer... - How To Attach the Redarc In-Vehicle BCDC Battery Charger To the Start BatteryThe 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...
view full answer... - Recommendation for Installing the Redarc BCDC Battery Charger for Truck Bed CamperFor your 2014 GMC 3500 the second battery does require a charger like the Redarc In-Vehicle BCDC Battery Charger - Dual Input - DC to DC - 12V/24V - 40 Amp # 331-BCDC1240D which is a great option. This is a customer favorite as well as a personal favorite but it does require cables, fuses # 331-FK60, and connectors sold separately. I recommend using the Bulldog Winch Wiring Kit for ATV/UTV Winches - 120" Long Power Lead # BDW20307 which does have the connectors as well. I've attached...

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...
view full answer... - RV Battery Charger and Portable Solar Panel System for BoondockingYes, Redarc DC to DC battery charger # 331-BCDC1240D is the right choice for charging your trailer's 540-amp battery bank. This unit can mount in the cabin of your vehicle, along a chassis frame rail, or in the engine compartment and it will connect to the vehicle's battery for input power, not to your 7-way. 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...
view full answer... - Charger Recommendation for Charging Battery of Dump TrailerFor 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 #...

- Trailer Battery Charger and Power Inverter for Coleman Pop-Up Camper with Deep Cycle BatteryFor a DC battery charger to maintain your trailer's deep-cycle battery I suggest the Redarc In-Vehicle BCDC 40-Amp Battery Charger # 331-BCDC1240D. This unit installs in your vehicle and delivers charging and maintenance current to keep your trailer battery topped off. This is made for high-capacity batteries of 200 amp-hours and above. It also allows the option to add a solar panel to provide a secondary power input. You will also need MIDI Fuse Kit # 331-FK60. For an inverter to charge...
view full answer... - What Size Fuse Kit to Use with Redarc Manager30 KitYou did you homework, yes the 40 amp fuse size of part # 331-FK60 is correct to use with the Redarc Manager 30 system part # RED93FR and the Redarc Smart Start Battery Isolator # 331-SBI12. These three components would work well together and would be all that you'd need.
