Comparing RedArc BCDC Charger to Standard 7-Way 12V Battery Charge
Question:
What, if any ,increase in charge can you get by using the 7 way cord as the power source
asked by: Mike A
Expert Reply:
On a typical 7-way, the 12V power coming from that connection will give you a maintenance charge to your trailer battery of 2-4 amps. This is the additional amperage coming from your alternator that is not being used by your vehicle at the time. This normally will only allow your battery to charge to about 80 percent as well.
When you use a charger like the Redarc In-Vehicle BCDC Battery Charger # 331-BCDC1225D that power supply will be amplified to 25 amps and will provide you with the ability to charge all the way to 100 percent. This also has the ability to utilize other charging functions like solar and has 3-stages of charging to prevent overcharging and prevent draining your vehicle battery as well. I've attached videos to assist, but let me know if you have further questions.
