Question:
Hello, I recently purchased this charger to power up a pair of Renogy Deep Cycle AGM 12 Volt 100Ah batteries from both the vehicle and via solar. Is there an additional way to also charge the batteries from a wall outlet as well with this charger? Thanks!

Expert Reply:
The RedArc # 331-BCDC1225D does not function off of AC power and won't provide a solution to plug into a wall outlet or anything of that sort; it will only help with solar charging and the feed from your tow vehicle battery. If you need a wall charger for a 2 battery bank I recommend using the NOCO GENPRO On-Board Battery Charger - AC to DC - Waterproof - 2 Bank - 12V - 20 Amp # NOC64FR which is a smart wall charger that will keep your batteries topped off during storage. You'll want to make sure that you do not run the vehicle or plug in the 7 way while the trailer or RV is connected to the AC power source.
I've also linked a review video of this charger for you to check out.
