Photos of Redarc BCDC install? (1 Viewer)

[CharlieS]

I searched, but didn't find what I was looking for. Does anyone have a dual battery system that uses the Redarc BCDC 1225/1240 system? Their website shows the BCDC unit plus a continuous duty solenoid (SB121). The Redarc bracket (BCDCMB-001) looks slick, but I read on mud that it competes with the US factory radar location, so can't be used. If anyone has this setup, could you share some pictures of your mounting?

I ran across a post from a member that said that they mounted the BCDC on a slee compressor bracket with a single ARB compressor. I PM'ed them to see if I could get a picture. If anyone else has this setup, I'd very much like to see pictures of it. This sounds like a great solution.

Cole it was a pleasure and thanks for the use of the rig. Enjoy and let me know if you need anything. Once I get caught up a little I'll start working on the new aluminum RTT and may have you come back up (if you have time) to look at the 200 dedicated mounting we discussed. J

Check out this post. Mounted to a Slee auxiliary battery tray.

Dual battery systems; making sense of the options

Hey. This is more of a "for future reference" question for me. There are an awful lot of options for dual battery systems out there. From Mud vendors, the 2 that come to mind first are those by @sleeoffroad, and @LC4LIFE. It seems to me that it depends a lot on how much monitoring you...

Here ya go...
This is a bracket I fabbed up myself inspired by the Redarc designed one.

 

[CharlieS]

Wow, several great options. Thank you.

619TOY - Any chance you have the dimensions for that bracket - that is slick!

Is this the Slee compressor bracket?

Thanks and yes. I can go dig up the dimensions in a bit!

Is this the Slee compressor bracket?

No this is a bracket I fabbed from aluminum. The Slee compressor bracket mounts under the hood near the brake booster.

FYI, if you don’t already have the Redarc, you might check out this new unit from Renogy: DCC50S 12V 50A DC-DC On-Board Battery Charger with MPPT

I didn't measure everything, but I can e-mail an 11 x 17 scan you can print and cut out to get you in the ballpark.

Thanks everyone.

I'm a fan of Redarc, so I'm sticking with the BCDC1225, and a SB112 (for self jumping). I have 4x Redarc fuse holders with fuses coming. I ordered 8ga wire and crimp terminals (Amazon), and find a hydraulic crimper (worst case I'll pick up a piece of Harbor freight junk).

My plan is to try to fab up a bracket using 619TOY's design for the BCDC. I like how neat and stealthy it is.

I haven't sorted out where the SB112 will go, but it is pretty small, so there are lots of options.

I'm still collecting parts, so if there are other suggestions or pictures (I like pictures), please post them here.

Thanks again everyone.

Just stumbled upon this option: Redarc BCDC Mount/ Battery Tray

 

[CharlieS]

I had planned to put it closer to the auxiliary battery, but ended up putting it in front of the starting battery.

My fabrication skills won't win any awards, but I think it'll get the job done.

I made a few iterations of templates until I got to something that would clear all of the obstructions.

I used some aluminum sheet that I had laying around from some other project.

I tossed my group 27 battery back in until I figure out what batteries to use.

@Eric Sarjeant, you guys may want to start considering battery terminal upgrades. Other than that it looks really clean.

 

[Eric Sarjeant]

Thanks! We use OE battery terminals to match the primary battery.
