• Quick Disconnect for 10 Gauge Ground Wire on 4- to 7-Way Trailer Wiring Adapter
  It looks like you ordered # 30717 but what would have been ideal for your situation is # 37185 which would retain the 4-Way while adding a 7-Way so you would not have had to disconnect anything if you wanted to tow a trailer with a 4-Way. You have some options. You could have a separate disconnect set up for the ground wire, replace the adapter you have with # 37185, or use a 7- to 4-Way adapter such as # PK12716. For quick disconnects your best bet would be # BDW20047 provided the ground...

• Are the Bulldog Quick Connects IP Rated Waterproof
  The Bulldog Quick Connect Kit # BDW20047 was not IP rated and in most case their exposure to the elements is expected, so that type of water resistance isn't required. To help shield these connectors from the elements that are encountered on the road these connectors come with dust covers that keep them free of dust/debris and water during travel.

• Charging Trailer Batteries While Towing Using the Alternator in a 2016 Ford F-150
  The problem with charging trailer mounted batteries is that vehicle alternators and the wiring going through, say, a 7-Way trailer connector cannot push back the amperage required to charge up the batteries (or it would take an extremely long time). At best they can maintain the charge level in most cases. But there is a solution to that issue and it is actually similar to what you have suggested. What you need is a DC to DC charger. We do have one rated at 40 amps, # 331-BCDC1240D, which...

• Can I Use the 7-Way Connector On My Vehicle To Power the Redarc BCDC
  The Redarc In-Vehicle BCDC Battery Charger # 331-BCDC1225D does require running a heavy gauge wire that will directly connect to the alternator or battery on your tow vehicle. Unfortunately in this case your 7 pin connector will not provide enough power to properly power the BCDC charger and keep your batteries fully charged. With that said, this charger can easily be mounted on your trailer and will provide a great source of charging for your off-road trailer since it doesn't just provide...

• Charging 4 Deep Cycle Batteries Running a Power Inverter with Fridge Plugged in While Traveling
  What you can do is connect the batteries that power the inverter directly to the starter battery on the truck or even an alternator in your 2018 Ford F-450. Keep in mind though that when multiple batteries are connected together it takes a long time to charge all of them up. Instead of using the batteries you could attach the inverter directly to one of the truck batteries so that it will get constant power without depleting the truck batteries. This will allow you to keep your 4 deep...

  To connect your Redarc In-Vehicle BCDC Battery Charger - Dual Input - DC to DC - 12V/24V - 40 Amp # 331-BCDC1240D, you will need the 60-Amp MIDI Fuse Kit for Redarc In-Vehicle 40-Amp BCDC Battery Charger # 331-FK60. This will protect your vehicle and battery from potentially damaging overcurrent from short circuits or overloads. You will run the Red Wire from your RedArc unit to the fuse, and then from the fuse to the positive battery terminal on your vehicle start battery. I've attached...

• Are there Quick Connectors to Attach Solar Panels to Batteries
  What you could do is use quick connects such as # BDW20047. One of them you would wire to the batteries using 10 gauge wire such as # 10-2-1, sold by the foot, and the other one would wire to the solar panels. These connectors can accept wire as small as 10 gauge so anything smaller than that you would have to double up the wire before securing it in the terminals.

• Can Redarc BCDC Charger Be Used with 7-Way Connector to Charge Trailer Battery
  The Redarc In-Vehicle BCDC Battery Charger # 331-BCDC1225D that you referenced could physically be installed so that it uses 12V power from the 7-Way connector on your truck, but it's not going to allow for ideal operation. The problem is that typical trailer connectors use smaller 10 gauge wiring that just isn't capable of allowing enough power to pass through to really charge a battery up. Since this is exactly what you would want to use the BCDC charger for, using it with the 7-Way...

• DC to DC Battery Charger & Solar Panel For 90 Amp Hour Trailer Battery
  We do have exactly the parts you need for a DC to DC charger and solar panel which can be installed onboard a trailer, though it wouldn't use the 7-way connector. Wire (6 gauge) would need to be run directly from the battery and then connected with a quick-connect set. Here's exactly what you will need: - Redarc In-Vehicle BCDC Battery Charger - Dual Input - DC to DC - 12V/24V - 25 Amp # 331-BCDC1225D - 40-Amp MIDI Fuse Kit for Redarc In-Vehicle 25-Amp BCDC Battery Charger # 331-FK40 -...

• Do I Have to Connect To Battery for 12v Power with RedArc In-Vehicle BCDC
  You will need to connect to the tow vehicle battery in this case. The issue with trying to install and run the RedArc In-Vehicle BCDC # 331-BCDC1225D via the 7 way is that the 10 gauge wiring in a 7 way trailer connector isn't sufficient to provide a charge to your battery. Since this is exactly what you would want to use the BCDC charger for, using it with the 7-Way would almost defeat its purpose so I cannot recommend that you wire it differently in this case. When installing this charger...

• Recommendation for Maintaining 1999 Jayco Pop Up Campers Battery While Towing
  I have a solution for you to maintain your trailer's battery while towing, but we do not offer an aux socket adapter for your battery charger from Schumacher. There is not a great way to charge your trailer's battery while towing, but you can provide the battery a maintenance charge so the trailer battery won't drain while being towed. One way to provide a maintenance charge to your trailer's battery while towing is to use a 7-Way trailer connector and 7-Way vehicle connector to provide...

• Recommended Quick Connects for a Winch Being Installed on a Boat
  Since the quick connects are only rated to 50 amps I'd beef up your cables to cover your 150 amp max pull rating. The 6 AWG is a minimum so you can go bigger, luckily. I'd steer towards something like the Bulldog Winch Rear Wiring Kit # BDW20207 or for just the quick connects # BDW20133. This kit/connectors are going to work with 2 AWG wire which is larger, however they are rated for up to 175 Amps so you'll have your coverage.

• Installing Redarc BCDC Battery Charger # 331-BCDC1225D for Charging Trailer Battery
  The Redarc In-Vehicle BCDC Battery Charger # 331-BCDC1225D that you referenced is a perfect option to not only maintain the charge on your trailer's battery but actually charge it up during travel. This is because the charger will provide a continuous output of 25 amps (much more than just running a dedicate wire from the tow vehicle's battery to a 7-Way connector). This particular charger also has the ability to accept power input from solar panels for added efficiency if you ever decide...

• How to Tell if Bulldog Winch Quick Connect Will Work With Badlands Winch
  There are many different capacities of Badlands winch so it's not possible to tell you outright if the Bulldog Winch Quick-Connect Set for Powersports w/ Dust Cover - 6 AWG # BDW20047 will work with your Badlands winch. You can pretty easily tell though, as if your winch uses the same 6 AWG you can absolutely use the Bulldog Winch Quick-Connect Set # BDW20047.

• Can the Quick Connects # BDW20047 Connect to 10 Gauge Wire
  If you are looking to attach 10 gauge wire to the metal connectors of the Superwinch Quick Connects # BDW20047 you could accomplish this. Instead of crimping the connectors you would just need to solder them. For just the metal connectors use # BDW20160 for your 10 gauge wire like # 10-2-1.

• Why Does the Bulldog Winch Quick-Connect Set Only Come With One Cap
  The Bulldog Winch Quick-Connect Set part # BDW20047 only comes with one cover/plug. The reason for this is because the side attached to the battery would still be live which is the side you would use the plug on as water could get into the connector and cause corrosion issue. The other side would not be powered therefore corrosion issues would not be possible. If you wanted, you could coat the pins with dielectric grease part # 11755 but a cover is not available separately nor is it needed.

• How to Protect Bulldog Winch Quick Connectors for Winch Wiring on a Truck
  The Bulldog Winch quick connectors # BDW20047 themselves do not have any sort of cover to protect them from the elements. But what you could do is modify mounting box # RP74641 and that will help protect them. There is no one place that you have to mount the connectors. You can mount them in a place that works best for you. We do sell 10 gauge wire. I recommend # 10-2-1 since it is 2 wires in 1 sheath. It is sold by the foot so if you needed 20 feet you would put 20 in the quantity box.

• How to Power an Electric Trailer Winch from a Tow Vehicle
  There are a few different ways that you could wire up an electric winch to your truck, even if the winch is mounted on a trailer. I do not recommend wiring it to the trailer connector wiring because winches draw a lot of power and trailer wiring is too small to handle that kind of current. Take a look at the help article I have linked for you. The second half covers methods of wiring up a trailer mounted winch. Option 1: Wiring the Winch with Trailer and Vehicle Winch Wiring Kit, is the...

• Will Superwinch 2-4 Gauge Wire Quick Connects # SW2236 Work on 12000-lb Winch
  The Bulldog Winch Quick-Connect Set # BDW20133 that you referenced will work with winches that have 2 gauge wiring. The weight capacity of your winch is a function of both motor capacity/wiring gauge, and also its gear train. If your winch uses 2 gauge wiring then you can use this connector # BDW20133. We also offer part # BDW20047 that's designed for use with 6 gauge wiring.

• Recommended Wiring for DC to DC Charger and Wireless Brake Controller Compatiblility
  The Tekonsha Prodigy RF Wireless Trailer Brake Controller works as a 12V pass through so you will get the same voltage but your are correct about the amperage. The Redarc In-Vehicle BCDC Battery Charger # 331-BCDC1225D could absolutely pull more amperage than what the Prodigy will allow through so you could splice into your wiring prior to the controller, but that isn't my recommendation. The best work around to ensure you have the battery charging you desire is to use the Winch Quick...

• Can 2 AWG Be Used on the Superwinch Winch 2 Go 4000
  The Superwinch Winch 2 Go 4000 comes with 6 AWG. Therefore the correct quick-disconnect terminal would be part # BDW20047 which is rated for 6-10 AWG, not part # BDW20133 which is rated for 2-4 AWG. In order to use the quick-disconnect terminal rated for 2-4 AWG, you would also need to change out the wires in the box that run from the ring terminals on the winch to the quick-disconnect terminal on the back of the box.
