Always charged, never stranded, stay powered up wherever your adventure takes you with REDARC’s BCDC Alpha50 R. Featuring 50A of advanced charging technology, this DC-to-DC charger keeps your start and secondary batteries charged using power from your vehicle’s alternator or solar. The BCDC Alpha's built in Green Power Priority™ will prioritise solar input, minimising the load on your alternator and saving fuel.

When paired with the included Smart Battery Monitor, the BCDC Alpha50 R can distinguish between current sent to your battery and to the loads in your system.

If the Charge Current is set below maximum, the charger taps into this unused current to supply your system’s loads directly, minimising reliance on your battery. The result? Less demand on your battery and an extended lifespan for worry-free adventures.

INTELLIGENT CHARGING

Unlike standard DC chargers, the BCDC Alpha50 R adjusts its charge mode in real time to meet your battery’s needs, maximising efficiency and extending lifespan. It functions as a true battery manager.

START BATTERY CHARGING

Recover a flat start battery with the push of a button in as little as 15 minutes, giving you the power to safely start your vehicle and get you back on the road in no time. Don’t let excess solar power go to waste, utilise solar to automatically top up the start battery when the secondary battery is full. 

SIMPLIFIED INSTALL

The BCDC Alpha50 R’s pushbutton interface and screw connections allow for a simple installation. There’s no solder or tricky wiring configurations and, with a range of wiring kits and mounting brackets available, installation is a breeze.
