Powering off-grid adventures and remote work  setups has never been easier with the release of REDARC’s new BCDC Alpha R. Now available in a  50A model, the BCDC Alpha R enhances the capabilities of REDARC’s BCDC range, offering  unprecedented smart charging and monitoring features. 

Vehicle Power Management

It’s more than a charger; it’s a mini vehicle power management system. The BCDC Alpha R is a  cutting-edge DC-DC charger designed to keep your auxiliary battery charged using power from both  your vehicle’s alternator and solar panels. This ensures you always have reliable energy for your  essential off-grid needs, such as powering fridges, lights, laptops, and even household appliances.  Whether you’re camping, overlanding, or working remotely, the BCDC Alpha R keeps your power  system running smoothly and worry-free. 

Caring for your Whole Battery System

The BCDC Alpha R represents the pinnacle of charging technology in the BCDC lineup. This model  builds on the key features of the original BCDC Alpha while introducing additional functionality. The  BCDC Alpha R will give you:  

• Instant Insight: Monitor your setup remotely via the RedVision app or display. Similar to the  monitoring capabilities of the Manager Alpha, this system provides instant insight into  battery percentage, remaining charge, and current flow per input/output, ensuring detailed  oversight of your power needs. Avoid ‘power anxiety’ by always knowing how much power  you are using and what you have left.  
• Total System Connectivity: Seamless integration with RedVision and TVMS products for a  comprehensive power management system, and on-air updates ensure you always have the  most updated technology. When used with the TVMS, users have the ability to switch on/off  systems like lights and appliances directly through the RedVision app or display. 
• Never worry about a dead vehicle start battery: The REDARC BCDC Alpha range are the only  DC-DC chargers that offers both start battery charging and recovery. Recover your flat start  battery in just 15 minutes with the push of a button, getting you back on the road quickly  and safely. 
• Optimised Charging: Automatically adjusts charge mode in real time to meet a battery’s  needs, maximising efficiency and extending battery life.  
• The BCDC Alpha R retains the renowned functionalities of the BCDC Alpha, including compatibility  with hybrid and electric vehicles, start battery recovery and charging, plus the capability for over the-air updates. Installation is simple with pushbutton interface and screw connections, with no  need for soldering.  

“The BCDC Alpha R is our most sophisticated BCDC yet, enhancing the original model by integrating  advanced system connectivity and control,” said Peter Favilla, REDARC’s Global President. “With  visibility to battery state of charge, start battery recovery, and vastly simplified installation, this  offering enables the end user to power their adventures and remove power anxiety.” 

The BCDC Alpha R, designed for in-cabin installation, comes packaged with REDARC’s Smart Battery  Monitor (BSEN500) for advanced state of charge monitoring. For those looking to customise their  setup further, optional TVMS systems and RedVision displays are available.
