Description
REDARC BCDC Alpha50 R DC Battery Manager
The REDARC BCDC Alpha50 R is a powerful 12V 50A DC to DC battery manager. It is built for 4WDs, caravans, campers, touring vehicles, work utes, and serious off-grid setups.
This smart charger keeps your start battery and secondary battery charged from your vehicle alternator or solar panels. Therefore, it helps you stay powered for longer when travelling, camping, or working remotely.
The BCDC Alpha50 R also includes advanced charging technology, Bluetooth monitoring, solar priority, and start battery recovery. As a result, it gives you more control over your complete 12V power system.
Smart 50A DC to DC Charging
The BCDC Alpha50 R delivers up to 50A of charging power. It can charge from both DC input and solar power, making it ideal for modern dual battery systems.
Unlike basic DC chargers, the Alpha50 R works as a true battery manager. It adjusts its charging mode in real time to suit your battery’s needs. Therefore, it helps improve charging efficiency and extend battery life.
It suits common automotive battery types, including standard lithium, heated lithium LiFePO4, AGM, gel, calcium, and lead acid batteries.
Solar Charging with Green Power Priority REDARC BCDC Alpha50
The BCDC Alpha50 R includes REDARC’s Green Power Priority™. This feature uses solar power first when solar is available.
Because of this, the charger reduces load on your vehicle alternator. It can also help save fuel and make better use of free solar energy.
Once your secondary battery is full, the system can use excess solar power to top up your start battery. Therefore, solar power does not go to waste.
Start Battery Recovery
A flat start battery can quickly ruin a trip. However, the BCDC Alpha50 R gives you extra peace of mind.
With the push of a button, it can help recover a flat start battery in as little as 15 minutes. You can also activate this feature remotely through the smartphone app.
This makes it a smart option for remote travel, touring, camping, and off-road adventures.
Advanced Monitoring from Your Phone
When paired with the included Smart Battery Monitor, the BCDC Alpha50 R gives you clear system information through the RedVision app.
You can monitor battery state of charge, time remaining, charger performance, and system activity from your mobile device. As a result, you always know how your power system is performing.
The Smart Battery Monitor also helps the charger tell the difference between power going to your battery and power being used by loads in your system.
If the charge current is set below maximum, the charger can use unused current to power your system loads directly. Therefore, it reduces demand on your battery and can help extend battery life.
Easy Installation
The BCDC Alpha50 R is designed for a simpler install. It features a pushbutton interface and screw connections, so there is no need for soldering or difficult wiring setups.
REDARC also offers compatible wiring kits and mounting brackets to suit many installations. Therefore, it can be fitted neatly into a wide range of vehicle and touring setups.
Built for Modern Vehicles
The Alpha50 R allows input current limiting to help protect vehicle alternators. This makes it suitable for vehicles with low surplus current.
It is also a strong choice for some hybrid and electric vehicle setups that use smaller DC converters.
With over-the-air updates, the BCDC Alpha50 R is also future-ready. Therefore, your system can stay updated as REDARC releases improvements.
Total System Connectivity
For a more complete power system, the BCDC Alpha50 R can connect with REDARC’s TVMS Rogue or TVMS Prime.
This allows seamless RedVision integration, giving you a connected power management system for your vehicle, caravan, or touring setup.
