THE BCDC1225D, BCDC1240D & BCDC1250D
The BBCDC1225D/BCDC1240D/BCDC1250D In-Vehicle Battery Chargers
feature technology designed to charge your auxiliary batteries to 100%,
regardless of their type or size.
Units that feature a Yellow wire include a Maximum Power Point Tracking
(MPPT) solar regulator. These units always take as much power from the
WARNING & SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS — This manual contains important safety
instructions for the BBCDC1225D/BCDC1240D/BCDC1250D Battery Charger
ranges.
DO NOT operate the battery charger unless you have read and understood
this manual and the charger is installed as per these installation instructions.
REDARC recommends that the charger be installed by a suitably qualified
person.
WARNING
Risk of explosive gases: Working in vicinity of a Lead-Acid battery is
dangerous. Batteries generate explosive gases during normal operation.
For this reason, it is of utmost importance that you follow the instructions
when installing and using the charger.
CAUTION
The Battery Charger should not be used by persons (including children)
with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience
and knowledge, unless they are supervised or have been instructed on
how to use the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children
should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the Battery
Charger.
Do NOT alter or disassemble the Battery Charger under any circumstances.
All faulty units must be returned to REDARC for repair. Incorrect handling
or reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock or fire and may void the
unit warranty.
Only use the Battery Charger for charging Standard Automotive Lead Acid,
Calcium Content, Gel, AGM, SLI, Deep Cycle or Lithium Iron Phosphate
type 12 V batteries.
If you need to replace your auxiliary battery, check the manufacturer's

All In-Vehicle Battery Chargers are suitable for all common types of
automotive lead acid batteries and LiFePO
data for your battery and ensure that the 'Maximum' voltage of the profile
you select does not exceed the manufacturer's recommended maximum
charging voltage. If the 'Maximum' voltage is too high for your battery type,
please select another charging profile.
Check the manufacturer's data for your battery and ensure that the
'Continuous Current Rating' of the charger does not exceed the
manufacturer's recommended maximum charging current.
When using the Battery Charger to charge a Lithium Iron Phosphate
battery, only batteries that feature an inbuilt battery management system
featuring inbuilt under and over voltage protection and cell balancing are
suitable.
The Battery Charger is not intended to supply power to a low voltage
electrical system other than to charge a battery.
Cable and fuse sizes are specified by various codes and standards
which depend on the type of vehicle the Battery Charger is installed into.
Selecting the wrong cable or fuse size could result in harm to the installer
or user and/or damage to the Battery Charger or other equipment installed
in the system. The installer is responsible for ensuring that the correct cable
and fuse sizes are used when installing this Battery Charger.
NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of battery or engine. This
may cause the battery to explode.
PERSONAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
To assist with the safe operation and use of the Battery Charger when
connected to the battery:
Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection. Avoid touching eyes
while working near a battery.
If battery acid contacts your skin or clothing, remove the affected clothing
and wash the affected area of your skin immediately with soap and water.
If battery acid enters your eye, immediately flood the eye with running cold
water for at least 10 minutes and seek medical assistance immediately.
