Flat start battery recovery takes as little as 15 minutes via pushbutton, and excess solar automatically tops up the start battery once the secondary battery is full. Configurable input current limits protect the vehicle's alternator. IP67\/69K dust and moisture protection and a -40°C to 85°C operating temperature range make the BCDC Alpha50 suitable for engine bay installation and harsh environments. Screw terminal connections and pushbutton interface simplify installation. The RedVision Bluetooth app provides real-time charge status and remote control from a smartphone. Over-the-air updates keep firmware current. Australian designed, tested, and manufactured.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures and benefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp
