The MPPT solar regulator and Green Power Priority work together to charge from both the alternator and solar simultaneously, maximising charge rate while minimising alternator load. Chemistry-specific charging profiles cover AGM, gel, standard lead acid, calcium, and lithium (LiFePO4). The compact fanless design allows the BCDC Core25 to be concealed under rear floors, behind side panels, or under seats for a clean installation. Suitable for battery banks of 60-200Ah for AGM and lead acid, and up to 100Ah for lithium. For battery banks over 200Ah, Redarc recommends the BCDC Core 40A. Suits 12V\/24V standard and variable voltage\/smart alternators. An input fuse rated at 40A and output fuse rated at 60A are required for installation — neither is supplied; Redarc recommends the FK40 and FK60 respectively.
