Question:
I have a 2018 Toyota Tacoma with an AGM battery 12v, 68 Ah and thinking of charging it with one of the Redarc BCDC chargers. Looking to the diagram attached, it looks like it is possible to do so.Can you confirm this. If it is , what Redarc model BCDC charger do you recommend. Thank you.

Expert Reply:
Yes it is possible to use a BCDC Battery Charger like the Redarc In-Vehicle BCDC Battery Charger # 331-BCDC1225D you mentioned, to charge your start battery, however, if you're wanting to use this to charge the start battery on your vehicle it will not work. These are usually used to power trailer/RV batteries from the vehicle start battery.
To charge your vehicle start battery, you're going to need a charger that plugs into AC power like # MA37JR. This battery charger will work great with the AGM battery your Toyota has.
