Expert Answers about Portable Chargers


  • How to Connect Anderson-Style Solar Panel to SAE Connector on Trailer
  • Redarc designed the Portable Solar Panel - 200 Watt - Monocrystalline # RED86VR around their BCDC and Manager30 charging systems but since this doesn't have a solar charger pre-mounted to the panels it will work just fine with any solar charger. To connect this to the SAE connector on your Airstream you need the Adapter # GP72VR and then an Anderson extension like the 5' Long # RED27VR, 16' Long # RED99VR, or 32' Long # RED49VR cable. Happy camping!

  • Can Sensitive Electronics Like Computers Be Charged from Portable Generator
  • AC surge/spike suppressors vary in the level of protection they provide and in their connectivity options. Some will include a voltage regulator along with the spike suppressor. Using one along with a suitable charger is the best way to protect delicate electronic devices like computers and smartphones. DC-source power charging is less risky since the battery power source is more stable than AC power. This device is ideal for charging phones and computers from your RV battery since it...

  • Recommended Converter and Charger for Single Lithium Battery on 5th Wheel Trailer
  • Yes. Because lithium batteries have a full charge voltage of 14.4 to 14.6 volts, your standard battery charger/converter system will not be able to fully charge a lithium battery so you will need to upgrade your system. The Progressive Dynamics # PD9160ALV is compatible with lithium batteries and will work well for your single 100ah lithium battery. The # PD9160ALV is a 60amp converter and since it turns off automatically to avoid over-charging, it will help prolong the life of your new...

  • What Cigarette Lighter Conversion Kit Do I Need for My Lithium Battery to Power a Rampage Heater?
  • If you have the Rampage Radiant Backseat Heater - 300 Watt - 12 Volt # RA3501, you will be able to power the heater by using your lithium battery.

  • Recommended Trailer Battery Charging Solution for Storage
  • I'll start off by saying that whatever tow vehicle you use, if it has a 7 way connector and the trailer does too, it will provide a maintenance charge whenever it is connected. So that may provide you with a little bit of peace of mind, but it sounds like you're more concerned with keeping the battery maintained when it is not connected to a tow vehicle and is being stored. If you're looking for a solar powered charging solution that will allow you to install and not worry about it, the...

  • How to Charge Camper Battery Using 2006 Chevy Silverado 2500 Dual Battery Bank
  • The 7-Way 12V power only provides a trickle charge to the tow vehicle battery. This is due to the distance between the truck battery bank and the camper battery bank. In order to charge your camper battery bank you need a "booster/maintainer" that is able to get the charge to where it needs to be to properly charge your camper battery, and for this I like to recommend the Redarc BCDC: - 25 Amp Redarc In-Vehicle BCDC Battery Charger # 331-BCDC1225D - Trailer Installation Kit # e79ZR The...

  • Battery Charge Line Kit For A 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  • For your 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee, you do not need a charge line kit, however it is always recommended to install one. That being said, I recommend the Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-156-25. If there is not 12v power at the 1'oclock position on the 7-way at the rear of your RV, you also will need the Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit for Motorhomes # RM-156-75.

  • Portable Heater Options for Camper Van
  • It's always a good idea to think ahead. The Flex-a-lite Mojave Vehicle Heater # FLX640 is more of a permanent installation so if you plan on moving the heater frequently we'll want to look at something else like part # RA3501 that uses a bolt-on installation, but it's small enough that you should be able to move it around and secure it to a variety of locations. I'm attaching a link to our selection of heaters that are normally used for camper applications. Some of them use 12V power while...
