REDARC BCDC Alpha50 R DC Battery Manager

REDARC BCDC Alpha50 R DC Battery Manager

Take complete control of your off-grid power system with the REDARC BCDC Alpha50 R. Combining intelligent 50A DC and solar charging, advanced battery management, Bluetooth® monitoring, and smart load management, the Alpha50 R is designed for serious overland builds, camper trailers, RVs, and touring vehicles that demand maximum performance and reliability.

The REDARC BCDC Alpha50 R goes beyond traditional DC-to-DC charging by functioning as a true battery manager. Charging your auxiliary batteries from both your vehicle's alternator and solar panels, it intelligently adjusts charging profiles in real time while maximizing battery life and efficiency. Green Power Priority™ automatically prioritizes solar input before drawing from the alternator, helping reduce engine load and improve fuel economy.

When paired with the included REDARC Smart Battery Monitor, the Alpha50 R can distinguish between charging current and active system loads. Any unused charging capacity is redirected to power onboard accessories directly, reducing battery cycling and extending battery lifespan.

Installation Note: The BCDC Alpha50 R is designed for installation in protected environments such as truck canopies, camper trailers, caravans, battery compartments, or enclosed storage areas. It is not suitable for engine bay installation.
