This solar charging dual battery kit from REDARC is the perfect starter kit for charging any auxiliary battery for those wanting to get off the highway and onto desert roads or setup at remote beaches. This dual battery kit offers everything you need to keep your batteries topped up for a safe journey there and back with cold drinks and fresh food at the ready.
If you’re looking to add a secondary battery to your RV or truck setup that will allow you to run things like fridges, inverters and other 110v devices, the BCDC1240D0 will help to charge your batteries while you’re on the move, and the 160w solar blanket will help harness the sun’s energy to get batteries back to 100% charge when you’re setup at camp.
Deck out your rig with a dual battery system just like Expedition Overland outfit some of their famous Toyota and Jeep overlanding trucks.
