We are going in depth on some of our most affordable and popular 12 Volt products at REDARC. The 12V products below are suitable for off grid travel for a few days, or longer. REDARC design products to suit.
Smart Start® SBI
Say you have an older vehicle and require a device that is going to look after your batteries, SBIs are that simple and effective product that maintain the health of your start battery. SBIs are designed for functionality during off-grid travel, and they are one of the oldest products here at REDARC.
The REDARC Smart Start® SBI works by protecting the engine battery from being drained by isolating both the start battery and secondary battery. Then, while driving, the secondary battery automatically starts charging. Back at camp the SBI will isolate the secondary battery, so you avoid draining your engine battery while using external accessories such as a fridge, car lights or phones. These accessories can now run in your vehicle without fear of draining your start battery. The SBI also warns users of faults such as voltage drops, over-voltage, and excessive current draw conditions.
To take some extra stress off heading somewhere remote, our SBI’s are designed with the potential to jump start your vehicle with an override feature. You may need to use this feature if your car battery is weak or dead, especially in cold weather, these malfunctions can happen. Compact in size, easy to install and a simple choice for powering your weekend away, do not overlook the SBI.
