- Watch This BEFORE You Wire Your Dual Battery Setup!
Redarc has launched BCDC dual battery setup kits to save you money! I tore out my entire previous wiring job to see how this kit compared, and its fantastic! No soldering, no heat shrink, no worries. I really do think this is the best way to wire you overland battery setup and I will for sure be using one again with my next vehicle.
Adding another battery later, more solar, a battery monitor, is all made far easier with this kit. Redarc nailed this, and compared to professional installation, it really saves money. High quality wiring, fuses, and hardware.

Yes yes yes bro. I opted for the 40 too. 😆 Miss and love these vids…
That distribution box is a game changer! Haha. Wish I knew this was coming out before I went on the hunt for all my wiring gear. That literally took weeks to get lined up and in order. 🤦♂️😆👌🤙. This is the way.
Redarc gear and customer service is literally the best in the world! Love those cats…
Good luck to the person that wins. You’re a badass Tyler. 👊
Thanks man I appreciate it! Yeah these kits are pretty sweet. Just for the ability to add stuff later makes it a big deal for me. Redarc does a solid job when designing these kinds of systems.
RedArc - a conk shell. I am currently living in my 1999 Dodge Durango and I live in Eugene, OR. I'm on a shoestring budget. I have a job, but the Lord want me to live in my car for now - I'm guessing - but to humble me, and to appreciate everything He does for me, which i do most definately. I discovered quickly that I needed a adual battery system. Shalom shalom.
I am sorry you are down on your luck right now. This giveaway was completed a few weeks back unfortunately. Keep your head up, things will start going better soon for you. 🙏
Great video and perfect timing for me. I just started researching how I wanted to build my dual battery system!
Exciting stuff man! I’m ready for my next rig just so I can design my electrical system all over again. It’s nice to have it all done, but designing it is half the fun! Thanks for watching!
On the Baja Video you guys found hella scorpions, a whale carcass and a whale vertebrae redarc really nice channel man keep up the good work
Natalie found a dead stingray on the beach in Baja. As always, great video!
That’s not the one, but thank you for watching that one too 😉
Scorpions and a Whale carcass and vertebrae! New subscriber , but have loved the content and quality of videos you put out! Keep up the great work!
Thank you very much Ryan! I’ll make an announcement on the giveaway Friday! 🙏
Those kits are cool! As much as I recommend learning to solder and shit, I totally get why someone would not want to. Time is money!
Soldering is a good skill to have, but undoing soldering work sucks!
@@IndependenceOverland definitely. Plug and play sounds nice
Whale hope to see u again at at the PNW expo this year
Haha I’m hoping to make the event, time will tell!
@@IndependenceOverland if you do remember the cold drinking fountain is in building 11 😊😊
I am working on a dual battery setup and looking at ideas for mines using lithium batteries 12v 135amp. I am paying close attention.
I suggest the 40 or 50 amp BCDC system.
You happened to be in La Gringa area of BDLA, and you found a wale carcass plus some alacranes (scorpions), viva Baja and Redark.
Whale back bone! Would love this to love start my dual battery system I don’t have yet!
We found something cooler than that. Keep watching!
@@IndependenceOverland I watched a long time ago, sea shells/ orange shell, bones, whale vetrtebrae/carcass, penguin skull, the creepy dead sting ray, and bobcat on the beach. scorpins
Thanks man! Sorry, I just have to keep it fair for everyone else. You nailed that time, thank you!
Long time lurker- but great channel- thank you! It’s a whale of a video 😂
Thanks man! It helps a lot!
And well played! 😂
Very Good Tutorial
Cool, been looking at these which got me here. Baja watch was awesome as well 🐳🦀🐚
Thanks for checking it out Chris!
Wouldn't this setup destroy the alternator?
No, your alternator has extra power it can put out. A 25 amp is a good starting point for these chargers, those of us who have after market alternators can go up in juice. I will be doing a 40 or 50 amp on the new build.
Found a huge conch shell and a cool orange sea shell
Keep looking! It’s in the video after that
On the Baja Video you guys found hella scorpions, a whale carcass and a whale vertebrae 🤞🏽
My man!
I saw people running a constant 400w mod for FJ and other toyota OEM inverter, but a free Redarc. Yes please. The unexpected surprise was whatle carcass 🐋🦴🩻. Also, that for making all these high quality videos. I enjoy watching all of your videos.
Yeah people have done that, but then people having to recharge the battery supplying the inverter. It would drain it quick! This is a much quicker/better system I assure you!
Question about fridges with lithium batteries. What are you setting your low voltage shutoff to? The high end on mine is 11.1 which is nearly dead for lithium.
I just keep mine on the very lowest setting since lithium holds out so long. Also that feature is mostly for older battery types or people who use their starting battery and want to be able to start their truck back up in the morning! With my Redarc stuff I literally never have to worry about running out of juice.
Can't believe I just watched 13 min commercial
What would be expectation on a gear review of a top selling product? Lol
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Thank you for sharing! Does this unit compatible with my 2016 Lexus LX570?
Yes, absolutely!
I assume this is a DC to DC charger that is lithium battery friendly? What is the easiest way to know if you have a smart alternator or not?
Yes, my original video covers the battery. Mine is lithium. I believe just googling your vehicle alternator will give you the information your looking for.
Hey great video! I have the same setup, the redarc 1225D and I think this is not enough for everything (Fridge, lights and converter) even with 100w solar panel, how the 1240D works? Thank you 🙏
It’s crazy how fast it charges! It’s better for my little battery because now in the rare situation I need to get the battery topped off, I can idle the Fj for 15 minutes and gain loads of power back. For the next build I intend to use a 40 or perhaps even larger. We will see.
Any thoughts on 'Antigravity Batteries' brand vs Battle Born Batteries?
The only products I’ve used from them are the jump start batteries, so I couldn’t tell you. The main thing I guess is to just look up videos about their claimed Ah rating. Lots of the inexpensive batteries fall short when tested.
Bro who came up with the price on this wiring 🤦♂️ no thanks!
I like the video and your rig! I just installed mine on the 2022 ram power wagon. I have Dakota lithium and was wondering about the blue wire… I left it alone and when the truck is off the Li light on the charger blinks. What do you think? Should I install on ignition source or not? Also do you have a isolator or does the charger automatically isolate?
The charger automatically isolates. I’ll have to look at my Redarc manual regarding the blue wire, it’s been a while. I think the ignition switch is for vehicles with smart alternators which yours may have.
Your links to the wiring kits dont work.
Yeah they removed all of my links, unfortunately. Thank you for letting me know!
$325 for rear install kit. Just getting ready to install. Think it’s worth it?
What kit costs that much?
The rear install kit on the link.
Whale bones.
@@EdJZatta I didn’t realize there was a drop down and the prices went up. My mistake. I do still think it’s worth it because of the fact that you can so easily modify it later. And the charger can be upgraded without rewiring because the wire is so beefy. You can get wire cheaper, but it’s not shielded like the Redarc stuff is.
WHALE ,VETEBRAE AND A BEUTIFUL BEACH!!!!!!!!
😊
Whale Carcass!
You found a Whale carcass that was there for a while
BEACHED WHALE
Thanks for checking this out! The giveaway ended a few months ago.

The Baja campsite was awesome. Redarc. 🐋
You guys found a whale carcass!

Conch shell and whale carcass and bones 🐳 🦴 🐚
their totally nuts on the price of install kit😂😂 no one buys this unless they are getting sponsord ones thrown at them😂😂😂 barley 50.00 worth of crap for almost the cost or the charger🤔 can you say “ laughing all the way to the bank redarc🤷😂😂
Whale carcass
Dead whale! Good time with friends.

A whale (and those scorpions, too)
Spoken like someone who truly watched it, thank you!
@@IndependenceOverland I watch all your vids and I'm not a Toyota guy.
Your the man! I really appreciate that!

Moby dick! 🐳 That video made me want to do a trip to Baja!
You really should!
UPDATE: WINNER SELECTED!
The winner has been selected. You can watch the live stream event if you are curious how it went. th-cam.com/users/livepDBNKEtDlfc?feature=share
VIDEO/PRODUCT CORRECTION:
I didn’t realize there was a drop down for each section of wire on the website. Like I said early in the video, I wasn’t sure of pricing when I first recorded this back in October. I took a quick look at the website while editing the video. Pricing is a fair bit more, but I do still think it’s worth it. I can’t find comparable wire with as much shielding as the Redarc kit has, and the junction box just saves lots of time down the road. If it were me, I’d buy the 40/50 kit no matter what your installing so you can upgrade easier if you need to later. Sorry about the mistake!
And for you guys checking out the Baja videos. There are several published. It’s a BIG find. It’s not just a bone!
You found a whale
CLICK BAIT :-(
Haha a 🐋.

I wish I was mor confident in doing this but I am terrified to burn down my daily driver lol
Wire the fuse in first, and then your good to go! I do plan to do some DIY videos on general instruction on 12v wiring at some point. I just need time.
You found a stingray, also I think the FJ Cruiser actually does have a smart alternator so you might want to connect that blue wire. I am about to put in a 300amp alternator in my FJ.
You made it in the nick of time! I was supposed to do the giveaway Friday, but had stuff come up. Drawing will be tomorrow!
@@IndependenceOverland well that's a change for me. I'm usually a day late and a dollar short 😆
Rotten whale
Thanks for the video
Thank you sir!
Fellow FJ owner. Whale

Ah man I was watching this video for inspiration for when I need to start building my dual battery system. I've been slowly getting into overloading (because my job doesn't allow for a lot of free time [or money]). Then I saw you're giving away that 25 amp system, so I had to throw my name into the hat!
Whale carcass!
Good install video Tyler, and a sweet new product from REDARC! The time and cost involved with doing your own wiring is not really considered...until you're hours into the install 😆
Thanks Samuel! Yeah wiring stuff takes a lot of time and effort. For people new to wiring, this also takes the fire risk out. A lot of people don’t understand wire sizes and voltage drops or fire risks. This takes the guess work out.

Hard to not get spoiled by the comments, but I watched again the baja episode anyway 😂 You found a whale skeleton on the beach 🩻
Haha yeah I should have thought that through a little better! Thanks for watching bud!
@@IndependenceOverland it’s mind blowing how little subs you get for the quality content you produce 🤷♂️
@@Snyler78 I appreciate that. It’s growing though!
