Question:
I have a lion energy lithium 105 AH battery in my trailer. I’m planning on installing the Redarc Bcdc1225d charger. Do I also need to install the smart load isolator 331-sbl12-LLD or is it optional ? Also the trailer has a portable solar panel that plugs into an exterior port on the trailer. Where does the yellow wire on the charger hook into that system? Thanks

I would be happy to help!
Since you are using the Redarc In-Vehicle BCDC Battery Charger # 331-BCDC1225D to charge a Lithium battery you will need to install the Redarc Smart Start Load Disconnect # 331-SBI12-LLD. This will get installed between the lithium battery and the load on the battery.
In regards to the solar panel, you will need to connect the yellow wire from the # 331-BCDC1225D to the port on your trailer that your solar panel plugs into that way the charger is distributing that power.
I included a video of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.
