The REDARC BCDC Alpha 50R (BCDC12050R) is a 12V 50A DC-DC battery charger with an integrated battery manager, for a 12V auxiliary battery bank. It combines the Alpha DC-DC charger, MPPT solar input, and a shunt-based battery management system in one unit — no separate battery monitor required.
Monitor charging state, view state-of-charge, and set the battery profile through the Redarc app over Bluetooth. Six charge profiles cover AGM, gel, calcium, standard lead-acid, LiFePO4 lithium and custom setups. Green Power Priority uses solar first to reduce alternator load.
Smart alternator vehicles and multi-charger setups. Our workshop always hardwires an ignition trigger to the charger on late-model vehicles with stop-start or variable-voltage smart alternators, and on any build with more than one BCDC (for example a charger in the vehicle plus a second charger in the caravan) so all chargers only run when the vehicle is running. Ask us if you're unsure whether your vehicle needs this.
Output is 12V. For a 24V system, use the Redarc BCDC2420 instead.
Rated for in-cabin installation, near the auxiliary battery bank so the shunt has a short lead. Backed by a 5 year Redarc warranty.
