REDARC BCDC1250D 50A 12V DC Battery to Battery charger – charge your aux battery on the move from both solar and alternator
The REDARC range of battery to battery chargers are designed and tested in Australia for the toughest conditions to provide easy and efficient in-vehicle charging of batteries.
The new and higher output REDARC BCDC1250D is a 12V/24V input 50A output In-vehicle Battery to Battery charger. Incorporating dual input technology the BCDC1250D will easily and efficiently charge your 12V auxiliary battery on the move from alternator and solar utilising the integrated MPPT controller.
The new “Dual” version of the highly acclaimed Redarc BCDC range of battery to battery chargers provides simultaneous charging of your auxiliary battery from DC and solar with a suitable PV panel connected. Green power priority ensures that power generated from solar is used first before supplementing any short fall from the vehicle alternator.
Three models at 25A, 40A and 50A now replace the previous BCDC varients making selection of the correct charger incredibly simple. The BCDC Dual can be used with both 12V and 24V conventional AND smart alternators (EU5/EU6) and is capable to efficiently and safely charge all common lead acid battery chemistries (AGM/SLA/Calcium). The unit also now has a lithium (LiFePO4) charging profile to reliably fast charge a 12V lithium auxiliary battery.
The BCDC battery to battery charger range features a Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) solar regulator, extracting the maximum amount of power from 12V solar panels to charge the auxiliary battery, even during low light conditions, when you’re parked.
Proven and Tested
Compact in size, easy to install and fully sealed – water, dust and vibration are no match for the in-vehicle battery to battery charger.

Best practice would be to use this unit with no bigger than 6mm square cable and appropriately sized breakers if you are using it with glands for a water tight fit. If you are using it in an environment that is already dry and dust free the use of glands may not be necessary.
This is an empty unit, you must add the breakers you need to your cart as well, see related items tab above to see the breakers that fit.
You will also need suitable cable entry glands - please see related products tab.
