REDARC Manager30 Battery Management System

[NRALIFR]

Just saw this on etrailer.com

Redarc’s come out with a new battery management system, and it looks impressive. Pretty impressive price too, but it operates like 6 products in 1 - DC-DC battery charger, 110-volt battery charger, MPPT solar regulator, battery isolator, load disconnect controller, and remote battery monitor.

It’s a bit more than I need in my TC, but it might be just what someone else is looking for.

A couple of points that might get your attention:

Includes lithium profile to let you charge lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries as well as traditional lead acid, gel, calcium, and absorbed glass mat (AGM) batteries.

The battery sensor monitors current, voltage and temperature of the house batteries.

I know, it’s hard to compete with projectile vomiting and other unsavory bodily functions.

Do batteries get giardia?

Yes, I looked briefly at Samlex when I was looking for a DC-DC charger, and it didn’t look like they had anything I could use. That appears to still be the case.

As for the other members who looked looked at this topic but have remained silent up to now, is it the price? It is a lot, but good battery chargers, solar controllers, isolators, etc aren’t cheap either. I think the fact that it monitors the battery temperature and compensates for it is awesome. I thought that’s what all the off-grid full timers wanted.

Or maybe you’re too busy discussing the perils drinking lake water. :W

I chatted with the folk from Samlex about their Evolution Series inverter/charger/transfer switch . While they do have an input for a solar charger controller, that is external. They do NOT have an input for DC charging (power from the vehicle), which I think limits their product line.
