Keep your camp battery charging while you travel
A fridge, lighting and other camp equipment are much easier to enjoy with a properly charged auxiliary battery. The REDARC BCDC Core 25 combines a 25A DC-DC charger, MPPT solar regulator and battery isolator in one compact unit, designed for installation inside the vehicle cabin or another suitably protected location.
SKU: XEIBCDCN1225
Use driving time and solar together
The Core can draw from a 12V or 24V vehicle system and an unregulated 12V-nominal solar panel at the same time. Green Power Priority uses the available solar contribution first, reducing the amount it needs from the alternator.
It regulates the charging voltage for the selected auxiliary-battery type, including where a long cable run would otherwise cause voltage drop. The internal isolator protects the starter battery against excessive discharge through the auxiliary charging system.
Choose a charger that suits your battery
The unit supplies up to 25A continuously to a compatible 12V battery. Charge profiles cover AGM/gel, lead-acid/calcium and suitable LiFePO4 batteries, including a separate profile for lithium batteries with a functioning heating system. Lithium batteries need their own appropriate battery-management system.
The right charger depends on the battery's allowed charging current, your daily power use and the driving or solar time available. A larger current rating only helps when the battery, wiring and source can use it.
Compact enough for a protected cabin installation
At 165 x 120 x 37mm and 900g, the Core is easy to accommodate in a considered battery layout. Its case is for protected in-cabin installation, rather than exposure to water or an engine-bay environment. Allow cooling airflow and follow the installation clearances.
Vehicle-input and battery-output circuits require 40A fuses, supplied separately. The fly leads need suitable installation wiring, and smart-alternator applications require the ignition connection. Solar panels, auxiliary battery and installation hardware are separate parts of the system.

Frequently asked questions
Can it charge a lithium battery?
Yes, a compatible 12V LiFePO4 battery with its own suitable battery-management system. Set the correct profile and keep within the battery's specified charging limits.
Can solar and the alternator charge at the same time?
Yes. The Core accepts both sources and gives priority to the available solar power.
Can I mount it under the bonnet?
Choose the Core for a protected in-cabin location. An exposed or engine-bay installation needs a charger designed for that environment.
Are the fuses included?
No. Fit the specified 40A vehicle-input and output fuses as part of the installation.
Will 25A suit my setup?
Match it to the battery's charging limit, your power use and the charging time available. The charger rating alone does not determine whether the battery will recover all of the energy used overnight.
