If you’re into camping, touring, or overlanding, chances are you run accessories like fridges, lights, or inverters when your vehicle isn’t running. To keep these powered without draining your main battery, many adventurers install a dual battery system.

Pickup trucks, trailers, and motorhomes are ideal for overland adventures, offering home comforts like communication devices, fridges, and cooking equipment. However, these gadgets rely on auxiliary batteries in your vehicle or trailer. Using battery power is easy with plugs and sockets, but recharging these batteries can be tricky. Here's what we recommend to maintain them.

REDARC delve into one of the numerous approaches to setting up power under the bonnet, in the cabin or in your topper.

Staying off-grid can be super easy with the right equipment. Here at REDARC, we have taken it back to basics to explain our Manager30 and BCDC range, to keep you connected and fully charged up!

REDARC explain how, with a little bit of know-how and the right gear, you can wire up your vehicle to be a reliable 12V powerhouse.

Whether you need to charge your phone, laptop or power tools on the go, or want to travel remotely with some of the luxuries from home like coffee machines and televisions, the accessory you need is a Pure Sine Wave Inverter.

Anyone who’s spent more than a bit of time off-grid knows that to live comfortably you need power, and a great way to get endless power while living and working remotely is through solar. There’s something about being in the middle of nowhere, putting the 12v solar panels out and being powered purely by the sun. We caught up with travel photographer, Dan Kiritsis to find out how portable solar panels allow him to work off-grid.

There is no doubt about it, a tidy and well-organized 12V dual battery system on your overland vehicle is the way to go. For the last 5 years, I have always organized my 12V system in different trucks on a ‘powerwall’. A powerwall is basically a board whereby all of your auxiliary power, charging, switches, outlets as well as other 12V accessories go.

With free camping and boondocking becoming increasingly popular, REDARC are here to help get your setup off-grid ready.

With so many people looking to get out and explore the country, overlanding and boondocking is becoming increasingly common. It’s easy to see why; secluded campsites in the middle of nowhere, no phone reception, no one else around for miles and it doesn’t cost you anything. If you’re looking to get into boondocking, one of the most common upgrades people do is going from a single battery to a dual battery system.
