A dual battery setup is the smartest way to power electronics from your vehicle. If you want to run a fridge, charge devices, power camp lights, or work from your vehicle, powering these accessories from a single start battery will not cut it and could leave you stranded. That is where a dual battery setup comes in. 

A new firmware update (V1.6.0) is now available for the Alpha150 12V 150Ah Lithium Battery. Improved performance, and the foundation for even faster updates in the future.

Adding solar to your vehicle, trailer, or RV is one of the best ways to keep your batteries charged, power your appliances, and extend your stays off-grid. This guide explains REDARC’s solar solutions, how much solar you really need, and which option is best for your travel style. 

From weekend camping trips to off-grid worksites, reliable portable power can make all the difference. Whether you’re running a fridge, charging devices, or lighting up camp, a portable power solution gives you flexibility without draining your vehicle’s starter battery. 

Reliable off-grid power is essential for overlanding, camping, RVing, or working from your vehicle. Whether you’re running lights, a fridge, tools, or even luxuries like a coffee machine or TV, you’ll need an auxiliary battery to support your setup. 

When you’re off-grid, an inverter is the key to powering the gear that makes life easier. Whether it’s charging a laptop, running power tools, or brewing coffee at camp, a pure sine wave inverter converts your 12V DC battery power into the 110V AC power that household devices need. 

REDARC’s monitoring and control solutions range from compact Bluetooth devices to full vehicle management systems. Here’s how to choose the right option for your setup. 

When you rely on auxiliary batteries to power appliances off-grid, keeping them properly charged and monitored is critical. Unlike a basic charger, a Battery Management System (BMS) does more than charge -  it monitors battery health, manages multiple inputs, and optimizes charging for long battery life and reliable power. 

REDARC’s BCDC Trailer Charger range is designed to solve the challenge of charging trailer-mounted batteries through the 7-way connection. With purpose-built solutions tailored for different vehicles, terrains, and electrical systems, you can choose the right charger to keep your trailer powered in every condition. 

If you’re setting up a dual battery system, choosing the right BCDC charger is key. These chargers keep your auxiliary battery powered while you’re driving, so you can run your fridge, lights, and other gear without worrying about losing power. 

At the heart of every safe towing setup is a reliable, responsive electric brake controller. Whether you’re pulling a camper, boat trailer, horse trailer, car transport trailer or an overland rig, the right brake controller makes all the difference - improving safety, control, and confidence behind the wheel while towing. 

Towing a trailer safely is about more than power—it’s about control. Whether you’re hauling a camper, boat, livestock, or overlanding trailer, stopping safely is just as important as pulling the load. That’s where an electric brake controller comes in.
