I had some time to play with the Redarc DC-DC Charger again today.
I used the inverter and microwave to run the camper battery down to about 60%. This is the single group 31 AGM house battery running the inverter on its own.
Then I started the truck, and monitored the Redarc charger and Trimetric panel. The Redarc showed that it was accepting voltage from the truck, and the “Stage” LED showed that it was in Boost-Constant Current mode.
The Trimetric showed that it was supplying its full rated output.
This is the fridge running in AC mode from the inverter with the truck idling, and the Redarc is supporting most of the load.
And this is the fridge in AC mode from the inverter with the truck not running. The house battery is running the inverter on its own.
I like this thing! :C
