I have a Redarc BC-DC 1220 , under the bonnet of my Hilux , charging the aux deep cycle batt , just driven home about 3 1/2 hours . multimeter shows only 12.36 vlots , i will talk to a autolec tomorrow but dose anyone if BC-DC things are throw away items or a adjustable / fixable item
RedArc is a great South Australian company and their tech service and back up is second to none.
If you are in Adelaide, you can also call in and talk to them face to face.
Cheers,
Peter

Looks like it's only a crappy fuse connection , I will replace it and tidy up a bit of wiring and all should be good again
Also you can ring and talk to a tech . They are very helpfull .
I see Jack has fixed the problem . That is one thing you must have is good connections

As I understand it Redarc do not recommend installation under the bonnet because it gets too hot in there.

I talked to Redarc tech department before I installed it about 4 years ago the bloke I talked to had one under the bonnet of his own Prado
There is a thread on the Redarc forum now about installing one under the bonnet of a Prado .

KFT, was it possible that they were recommending not to fit AGM bateries under the bonnet and not the charger itself?

G'day 03 troopy
It was a while ago so you could be on the mark there.
Next time I am researching those things I will see if I can find it.
