Travelling in Extreme Conditions: Stay Powered in Heat & Cold

Whether you're tackling the challenges of intense heat or bone-chilling cold, having access to a dependable mobile power system can make all the difference. REDARC’s innovative power solutions are designed to keep you comfortable and safe, no matter the conditions. Here’s how you can conquer extreme climates and why mobile power is essential for your extreme adventure.

Challenges Of Travelling In Extreme Heat

Travelling through hot climates in Australia can present a range of challenges. High temperatures are not just uncomfortable, they can put your gear and well-being to the test. Whether you’re exploring the red centre or setting up camp in off-grid terrain, staying cool, keeping your food fresh, and having access to clean water is essential.

What You Will Need In Hot Conditions

Cooling Systems: Portable fans or compact air conditioning can make a huge difference in keeping your setup comfortable and help you sleep better when the heat is relentless.
Cold Food and Drinks: A powered fridge ensures your supplies stay cold and safe to eat, no matter how far off-grid you are. Adding a fridge to your rig can help keep your drinks cold.
Reliable Water Supply: A reliable water pump and filtration system helps you stay hydrated with access to clean water wherever you are.

How REDARC Helps You Stay Cool In The Heat

REDARC’s vehicle-based power systems are engineered to survive in extreme heat. Here are some essential in-car electronics that can help you stay cool in the heat:

Alpha150 Lithium Battery: Designed to operate in extreme temperatures, this battery has a discharge temperature range of up to 60 degrees Celsius, delivering stable power to run your fridge, fan, or other cooling devices in hot climates.
Solar Panels: Capture the sun’s energy to recharge your battery during the day, providing a sustainable power source in remote areas. Portable solar panels let you recharge your battery even if your vehicle is parked in the shade.
Inverters: Inverters convert DC power to AC power so you can safely power essential appliances like air conditioning units or portable fans for ultimate comfort in the heat.

Adding these electronics to your rig can help you stay cool, hydrated, and energised, even in the hottest conditions.

Staying Powered Through The Cold

Travelling in cold climates comes with its own set of difficulties. From staying warm through the night to making sure your battery holds its charge in low temperatures, a reliable power source is essential. Whether you’re heading to snowy mountains or planning a winter family holiday, preparation is key.

What You’ll Need In Cold Conditions

Heating Solutions: Portable heaters and heated blankets help you stay warm and safe through the night.
Hot Food and Drinks: Appliances like microwaves or coffee machines make it easy to enjoy warm meals and beverages.
Battery Maintenance: Freezing cold temperatures can affect battery performance, so having a reliable power management system is critical.

How REDARC Keeps You Warm

REDARC’s power systems are designed and stress-tested to handle freezing conditions:

Lithium Auxiliary Batteries: Designed for low-temperature performance, a lithium auxiliary battery can charge in extreme conditions as cold as -30 degrees Celsius.
Inverters: Run AC heating appliances, coffee machines, or kettles to stay warm and enjoy hot drinks and meals.
BCDC Dual Battery Charger: A unit like the BCDC Alpha50 R ensures your auxiliary battery stays optimally charged while automatically isolating it from the starter battery. This prevents the accidental discharge of the starter battery, so it won’t go flat when travelling off-grid.
Battery Management Systems: A Battery Management System optimises energy use and keeps your batteries operating efficiently by regulating voltage, managing charge distribution, and protecting against overcharging or deep discharge, even in sub-zero conditions..

Whether it’s warming up after a day in the snow or powering a heated blanket at night, REDARC helps you power through any cold-weather adventure.
