Question:
I am planning on purchasing this and do a dual battery setup on my truck. I would like to make sure that I also buy the correct wire gauges. What are sizes of each wire from the Redarc charger?

The Redarc In-Vehicle BCDC Battery Charger - Dual Input - DC to DC - 12V/24V - 25 Amp # 331-BCDC1225D has the equivalent of 10 gauge wires for the power from the battery. It is recommend to install the 40-Amp MIDI Fuse Kit for Redarc In-Vehicle 25-Amp BCDC Battery Charger # 331-FK40 along with 6 gauge wire like the Bulldog Winch Wiring Kit for ATV/UTV Winches - 120" Long Power Lead # BDW20307
