Review on REDARC BCDC1225D Dc Dc Charger 12V25A by Paul Romero

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Exceeded my expectations

It is rare for a product to exceed expectations but this one blew me away. It's built like a tank. Redesigned, with huge cables. The engineers behind it put a lot of passion into the design and you can tell. Over voltage shutdown, under voltage shutdown. Massive cables and feeding amplifiers. I'm an electrical engineer and "conductor" and this charger is amazing. I connected this (orange-green wires connected) for a LiFePO4 battery. 12.5 V and up to 30 A from the system battery. The output is 14.4 volts net and 25 amps full rating. As soon as I turned my truck off, the truck's battery stopped charging and I am driving with charged secondary batteries. Exactly how I wanted it. It's made in Australia and I can say I'm very impressed. I'm old enough to remember when the phrase "Made in America" meant something - products that were durable and lasted forever. This charger has the same feeling. The cables are bigger than they should be. Big heatsink. No doubt it will go on and on. I look forward to many happy years with this charger. After years of buying border products from overseas that are hardly ever shipped, it's nice to find something that inspires so much confidence. A work of engineering. I'm really looking forward to using it.
