That's why I went redarc for the support they have .... 👍

May I also say that RedArc support after the sale is excellent! Thanks for the Video! Their test capability looks more like the Aerospace industry where I work.

Thanks for watching, Mark. And for your support! We hope to be of service to you again soon.

I love red arc they are the best. Bush they need to make a Manager 50 to do lithium batteries justice

@Redarcelectronics I have a Redarc BCDC1225D and the SBI12KIT (12v not 24v) for a dual AGM battery set up, in the engine compartment. I'm attempting to equip both the 'Jump Start' feature AND the 'Ultimate Dual Battery for Winching' feature, which the SBI12 enables. Questions: 1) For jump start feature of the sbi12, what is the minimum size momentary switch (amp rating) and minimum fuse size (amp rating) needed for that switch? 2) Also, can the same switch be wired to the SBI12 to accommodate both the jump start feature and the ultimate winching feature (i.e. in this scenario I'd replace the momentary switch with a latch or rocker style switch to accommodate both jump start (when truck starter battery dead) or to connect both batteries (while truck on) during winching)? 3) Or, are 2 seperate switches needed and if so, what size switch (amp rating) and fuse size (amp rating) is needed on switch connected to 'Ultimate Dual Battery for Winching' set up wiring? 4) Lastly, what minimum amp rating does relay need to be, for 'Ultimate Dual Battery for Winching' side wiring? Much appreciated.

7:37 What if I have 2 small 28Ah AGMs hooked up in parallel (totaling 56Ah) Is the BCDC1225D too powerful?

Is there a lithium battery that can be used as a start battery

[@REDARCElectronics]

Hi Andrew, there are some LiFePO4 batteries that are advertised as being suitable for cranking batteries.
When used in a dual battery system however, it is important to ensure the auxiliary system is isolated via vehicle ignition - this is due to the higher resting voltage of a Lithium battery.
