If your vehicle, caravan or RV isn’t driven regularly, properly maintaining your batteries is the difference between heading off on your next adventure and a flat battery when you need it most.
Managing the batteries in your weekend drive while it’s parked in the garage for weeks at a time or while your caravan hibernates over the winter months not only ensures your vehicle is ready to go but will save you money in the long run.
WHY IS BATTERY MANAGEMENT IMPORTANT?
All batteries naturally self-discharge over time. Without regular charging at home, batteries that spend long periods in a discharged state can significantly shorten their lifespan or lead to permanent damage and even total failure.
To avoid damage and having to purchase replacement batteries, it’s important to keep your batteries topped up over periods of limited use. To do this, you’ll need an AC battery charger.
WHAT IS AN AC BATTERY CHARGER?
AC battery chargers offer lightweight, portable and simple battery maintenance. A plug and play solution, these easy-to-use chargers are suitable for anyone. REDARC’s SmartCharger range has a simple, one-button operation. Just connect the charging clips to the battery, plug it in to a power outlet and push the on button.
Through it’s eight-stage charging profile, the SmartCharge recognizes and adapts its charge to the battery it’s connected to and displays the battery’s state of charge on the in-built display.
Secured against sparks, short-circuiting and reverse polarity, these chargers also provide temperature-compensated charging, so they work no matter the climate.
All of this ensures the SmartCharger will never overcharge your battery, as it goes from flat to powered up in just a few hours. A great choice for straight forward and installation free charging.
BATTERY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AC CHARGING
Designed for touring and extended off-grid travel, REDARC’s Battery Management Systems, like the Manager Alpha, provide a more integrated battery management experience. These systems charge from AC mains, as well as DC and solar inputs, and through RedVision, allow you to monitor battery levels, charge rates, and energy usage in real-time.
Charging your batteries at home from AC is simple. Whether you’re after a straightforward, standalone AC charger, or a comprehensive battery management system.
