The REDARC BCDC1240D is a 12V 40A In-vehicle DC to DC battery charger. It features the next generation in REDARC In-vehicle charging technology, charging from Solar and DC inputs simultaneously.
Designed for easy use, the Redarc Quick connect will allow you to easily disconnect or reconnect the BCDC unit with just a click of an Anderson connector!
Fitted with Genuine Anderson connectors:
- Input from vehicle (Red wire into Grey Anderson)
- Input from unregulated solar panel (Yellow wire into Black Anderson)
- Output to secondary battery (Brown wire to Grey Anderson)
- Spade terminals (to easily change between the battery chemistry)
The REDARC BCDC1240D In-vehicle Battery Charger is the next generation in REDARC's DC to DC charging technology, with additional features that make it the most advanced dual battery charger on the market.
Featuring a Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) solar regulator, the BCDC1240D will charge from both solar and the alternator simultaneously. With built-in 'Green Power Priority' it will select solar charging first, meaning less load on the alternator.
Suitable for 12 or 24-volt vehicle systems, the unit will also work with either standard or variable/smart alternators.
The BCDC1240D also comes with patented charging profiles, including a lithium charging profile. The 'Dual' input range will continue to charge all other types of batteries including AGM, GEL, standard lead acid and calcium.
As a guide, the BCDC1240D is used for battery bank sizes over 200AH. For smaller batteries of 75-200AH REDARC recommends the BCDC1225D.
Proven and Tested
The award-winning technology in the BCDC has been independently verified and tested to ensure battery life is maximised, charging your battery to a proven 100%.
Built in Australia and tested for our unique conditions, the DC to DC battery charger will work in the extreme heat of the Simpson Desert, up to 80°C and can handle deep water crossings at Cape York – water, dust and vibration are no match for this charger.
If you’re heading out into the bush and want to get there and back again safely – you can trust REDARC.

Mounting Brackets
In addition to the use of quality fuse kits, REDARC offer a range of vehicle-specific mounting brackets for our BCDC DC-DC Charger range. The 304 stainless steel bracket allows installation into the front of the vehicle for cooler airflow, ensuring optimal performance. They have been designed to fit existing mounting points in the vehicle.
Not sure what dual battery system is best for your vehicle? Let Shaun Whale explain more.
When using a 40 Amp DC charger, it is recommended to fit 13.5mm/6B&S cable in order to minimize voltage drop. This cable can be purchased in any length in either a Twin Core 13.5mm or Single core 13.5mm
It is important to note that when using DC cable, just as much power is transferred through the negative cable as what it is through the positive cable. It is in the opinion of Home of 12 Volt to always run a twin core cable when possible for power feeds.
