BEST 12V SET UP FOR YOU - from basic to ultimate - EXPERT TIPS & TRICKS 

Great community engagement. Before I probably would have gone the cheap option now I'm more inclined to support this Australian company.

Got a 12V question you want answered by the experts at REDARC? Comment below and they'll get back to you!

Great video. Having researched all this myself years ago for my dual battery setup, I can say that this video is about 20 hours of research crammed into less than 20 minutes.

As a customer with a few Redarc products (sbi212, bcdc25, manager 30, 1000w inverter and Tow Pro) just want to say their support is amazing. I needed a minor part (knob for the tow pro) and couldn't buy it from a store. They bent over backwards to get one to me. Big love for this Aussie company!

im from ireland and living in NSW and getting big into camping/4x4 i was completely clueless before this video thanks so much.

Redarc are the best. Was running a manager15 on my camper and it was the best piece of kit i've used in any 12v setup. Will be fitting a manager30 to my next build. Their brake controllers are great too. Keep up the good work.

Best video on dual battery set up I’ve seen soo far. Most videos have not explained it soo clear and to the point and make it very confusing and frustrating to understand . People automatically think a second battery will run a fridge for more than one day , and it will if your fridge is on the lowest setting possible but in summer 40 deg that’s not feasible. Red arc is damn expensive , however this video demonstrates just why you should throw your money at it , once , the first time and your set long time . Well done Shauno

Brilliant to see an Aussie company making top quality products and something to be proud of 👍👍👍

Usually don't watch product reviews on here because the products are typically not available in the USA. I've been looking for a simple solution to auxiliary 12v power in my truck and was super stoked to see Redarc in the North American market! Thanks for the killer review and explanation on the products!

You guys are fantastic.... not only do you show cutting edge stuff ( like the auto diff locker install) but you inform us about AUSTRALIAN MADE CUTTING EDGE PRODUCTS.... we all know you can buy all these things from an array of different companies but not all stores sell the Australian products and because of that people buy inferior/cheaper overseas stuff because they simply don't know about the ozzie stuff.... I always try to buy Australian made and it's such a big help to be informed of the products we make right here in Australia.... well done guys.... and the quality is awesome...

Would love to see more info on inverters and which one to select, what they can run and what they need to support them. Also how to use them correctly.

What a fantastic video! I have always had questions about running dual batteries and how it all worked. Thanks 4WD Action!

Was literally just about to hop in bed! Nope, new video from 4WD Action!! Thanks for the great info Shaun! ❤️🐞

I'm thinking of upgrading my auxiliary electrics in the mighty Maverick so this video came at just the right time.

As always great content, now I have a new target set up for my GU 👍

I forgot how amazing this video was! Incredible!! Explained it perfectly

literally the perfect video as im currently planning out my own 12v dual battery system, you beauty!!!

Outstanding explanation! Thanks for making it so easy for a newbie to understand.

hook 2nd battery to alternator to charge & also isolater, then when at camp hook solar to it to keep charged

I was thinking about getting a second battery as ii just got give a pear of solder panels good work boys keep em coming grate info

Excellent review guys! We were in Australia last winter and we bought the BCDC1240D and really happy with this charger! Thanks for your great job!

Would love to see a full video on the camera car 😁 great work guys

“Just like driving around with no fuel guage in your 4wd you just wouldnt do it “ unless your names graham and you drive shorty 🤣🤣

Great vid Shauno, well presented, didn’t miss a trick, learnt plenty from it too!

The best information about 4wd touring 4wdaction have ever bought out. EVER... even since 4wdmonthly days...only if they bring back the 4wdmonthly days DVD’s

Glad to know this is another Aussie product which is well known in 4x4 community around the world for reliability!

I love my Redarc stuff. Cheers Steve

For the basic Smart Start isolator system, how do you determine what size you need, do you just match the amperage (100 or 200) to your alternator's output?

Best video on youtube. Awesome info and amazing company! Thanks!

Great content Shauno! how good is that an Aussie company not only makes the best but keeps manufacturing and support local👍👍 They are a great example of greed not ruling their business. Redarc all the way mate😀😀

Great video always a topic that not many people have any idea about or where to start

Very informative and simply communicated - Great work

Thanks Shauno! Awesome company. I hate to say it but, "I'm an engineer" and just seeing the video footage of redarc, it gives me pride in a well engineered product. Even if I'm not part of their process. High quality stuff, designed for us. Theres something about packaging all these functions. Its great.

This is one of the most easiest to understand explanation! Thankyou! Subscribing!

Thanks guys needed this bad now I know what set up i need

Nice one Shauno, when are we going to see the dirty 30 in action?

Now this is what I've been waiting for 👍

🙂 It's great to see. We are lucky to have Great Quality Australian Made Products 👍

Great video, love the redarc setup

This is the video I needed to watch! 🎉

Absolutely love 4wd24/7 So much information

Can you charge direct from a Honda EU 20,30 generator and when you get home put the system on charge via 240 volt. A great and very informative video Thanks Shaun and Redarc.

I feel the extra cost for buying Redarc units just go justified. Good stuff

Do you still need to run the isolator at camp when using the battery charger or does the charger isolate from the starter battery too?

Thanks!! We’ve installed the bcdc1225d, perfect!

Good to see quality manufactured products here at home ;)

Great video mate, very informative.

This video was really helpful, thanks shauno

Damn, my battery charger just stopped working after 15 years. I remembered Shaun mentioning Redarc so I gave their website a shot. That's a damn well website with a lot of info. Came back to this video and I think I'm gonna buy me a Redarc BCDC1225

Great to learn how it works, cheers 👍

Great to see a global company home grown right hear in the Land Down Under, we have lost so many innovative & creative companies to O/S cheap labour countries. I have seen the inroads Redarc have made into the US market with great results & good old Aussie know how + the yanks are simply blown away with the complete systems integration that ticks all the boxes from the team at Redarc. One question I do have is they have the 12 volt system covered, but what about the 24 volt brigade ? We have a large 4X4 overland truck & would like any info or catalogues covering our type of setup as we are currently in the build stage, & want to stay for extended time in the bush. Nothing Beats a Fair Dinkum Aussie Company, Regards Steve.

Hang on didn’t graham drive shorty around without a fuel gauge ?

Excellent vid ! Thanks

When using a dc to dc charger can the power going into the unit come from a 12v socket or does it need to come from the battery with larger gauge wires ?

So good! Shauno, are we seeing the Dirty 30 in action soon?

Super informative. Thanks!

Old mate Thanos knows what he's talking about...

This is bad ass. Thinking about putting something like this on my ram rebel.

Top vid mate 🤙

Great video mate hope the fires get better so all the tracks reopen

Awesome video. Wondering what roof rack and solar adjustment rack is in this video?

I have an existing BMS 30 system. Can I add the Redvision extension?

I have a couple of REDARC gauges and one is the dual voltage gauge, they are both working well although I find it unfortunate that the reading pin goes in segments and not in a smooth motion which doesn't make it very accurate. I also have the extra current sensor which measures the current in 1 Amps which I find extremely inaccurate, I can be running some small LED's and the reading will still indicate 0 amps. I was really disappointed for that one considering the price, it could at least read in 0.1 Amps so you would know if you have a small current leak or know how much amps something actually consumes...

Great video!

Sounds good but what is the cost I recon a generator and drums of fuel would be cheaper

How much longer before the dirty 30 is back in service, the new d 30 is super cool .

Excellent video shauno cheers!

I just use a good quality esky and ice, one for beer and one for food. One less stress while camping. Can easily go for 3 nights. Plus you can buy ice almost anywhere.

Thanks for the info ShaunO

Shauno, follow this up with a piece on the merits of good quality harness connectors. Its no good having plenty of amps if its not reliable

Hey guys I had a question is there a place in the USA where we can buy and set up these products

Great information!!!

Got an old and rare e2000 4x4 - what set up do i need?

Only ever have run redarc use a bcdc now in car and manager setup in trailer can cost more than cheap shit but it’s never let me down so worth the extra in my eyes

great products as always and a very informative video. But no one ever puts the price when they advertise stuff like this. Would be handy to know!

I'd love a full blown REDARC setup. I will definitely look into this brand further. Cheers from TN USA!

With the TVMS does it act as a relay also? If so, could I have something dual switched IE camp lights switched from both the cab and the canopy of the vehicle?

This is Awesome mate , thanks for the video ❤️ it. Do they export their product in other part of the world ?

Good video Mate

When are we getting part 2 of the latest trip shauno? 🚘

How do you run dual isolators. I have one that leads to my trailer how would I connect another one inside the car if I have already one running and is taking up all the voltage

Great info shauno

What is the smallest solar panel wattage it will effectively work with? Cheers

Hi Mate. Coming at you guys from Rhode Island. Have you guys ever done some gold searching out there on the trails?

Top video legends.

If you don’t want to pay the price of great quality Redarc also sell hummingbird products which are close but don’t use as high end products. They do have the same amount of technology in them though.

Cool mate.... Very cool indeed 🙂👍greetings from Florida 🌴

how do I connect the second battery up to the car

I went to an auto lecky in FNQ on my recent cape trip because my aux battery in the 4wd died. After he heard I have a camper trailer he wanted to get at it to install an extra battery and charger in it. I started pointing at display stock and describing the fitout it came with.. Manager30, colour display with Bluetooth, 200Ah lithium battery..... His mouth fell open. He had never seen the stuff hooked up yet, and he was having guesses at how many thousands of bucks worth of gear it had.. And yes, it IS good gear, and yes their service is really good, but you pay for the quality. BTW FWIW my camper is a Drifta WUHT.

Nice products. Does they have distribuitor in Brasil?

Im getting a solar blanket, and I have the BCDC1225D, where would I hook the earth cable up to? the auxiliary battery or the vehicle?

Best in the business 👍

What is the isolator for the Mitsubishi pajero field master 03?

Please make this clear. I have a MN triton 2013 , will I need a battery isolator or just a DCDC Charger or both?

I have one of those dcdc things in my 4x4, but the extent of my 12v charging knowledge lasted until about 6:25 Frustrating

I have an bcdc1225lv and have a 200 watt panel connected as well as the alternator Charing and my question is going from a lead deep cell 105 amp to a AGM battery and how do I adjust the volt range to suit the AGM battery Cheers Geoff

Yo what is this great heavy metal backing track...I'd like to hear more

Good video bloke

You did not cover how to hand an installation for a vehicle with a smart alternator, and the use of some sort of Ignition-On detection. Can you please elaborate, thanks

Do you have an outlet in Canada or do we deal strictly with Australia
