20A 12V Ignition Control Under Bonnet DC Battery Charger by Redarc
The REDARC BCDC1220-IGN is a 12 Volt 20 Amp DC DC charger featuring technology designed to fully charge a lead acid auxiliary battery. It’s suitable for vehicles fitted with an ECU-controlled variable voltage alternator and fully potted to survive and thrive against heat, water, dust and vibration.
The BCDC1220-IGN features a lower voltage setting so it can continue to operate with a low input voltage from the alternator.
The BCDC dual battery charger will work with a wide operating range (9 – 32V) giving the option of charging from both 12V and 24V vehicle systems.
By providing a unique charging profile to each specific battery type, the BCDC charger is able to achieve and maintain an optimal charge in auxiliary batteries whilst on the move. It will allow you to charge an auxiliary battery that is a different characteristic to the start battery.
The unit will act as a dual battery isolator and protect the start battery, should the voltage get too low.
Proven and Tested
Compact in size, easy to install and fully sealed - water, dust and vibration are no match for the in-vehicle DC smart charger. It can handle the roughest tracks in outback Australia and even deep water crossings at Cape York. The BCDC DC to DC battery charger is suitable for installation in harsh environments or marine applications.
With an ever-increasing number of electrical accessories and devices being used when travelling around Australia, along with more complex vehicle electrical systems than seen in years gone by, having the right battery charging solution has never been more important.
Designed, built and tested in Australia for our unique conditions, the BCDC in-vehicle DC to DC charger won’t let you down.
