Question:
is there automatic protection from charging in sub zero weather when connected in Lithium mode? If not what would be the best solution? a battery disconnect between the charger and start battery... if so what about the blue wire? does it need to be disconnected also?

Expert Reply:
Yes, there is indeed automatic protection from charging your lithium battery in cold weather with the Redarc In-Vehicle BCDC Battery Charger - Dual Input - DC to DC - 12V/24V - 25 Amp # 331-BCDC1225D.
The # 331-BCDC1225D will switch off at 32 degrees and flash that there is a temperature fault. Once above the temperature it will continue to work as normal.
I also wanted to mention that the BCDC will require a fuse kit, the 40-Amp MIDI Fuse Kit for Redarc In-Vehicle 25-Amp BCDC Battery Charger # 331-FK40.
