The C16 is fitted with a REDARC BMS battery charger as follows. For safety information and

manufacturer instructions of these Battery Chargers please refer to the respective REDARC

BMS Owner’s Manuals provided.

For battery charging when connected to mains power and when connected to the tow-vehicle

or solar power.

• Your REDARC Manager30 gives an accurate picture of your battery percentage and

time until full/empty. Make use of the display screen and/or phone app.

• You can always start the vehicles engine and utilize the DC-DC charging when you are

getting low. You cannot always use a generator, especially in national parks but you

can run your vehicle. It may only need a small amount to get you through until the

next day when you may be back on the road again. You will need to rev your engine to

between 1,200 RPM and 2,200 RPM to effectively charge your battery. Make sure to

warm your engine first for a few minutes on idle before you rev your engine to avoid

engine damage.

• Because of the additional “BCDC1240D” 40A charger, the screen will sometimes show

that the load is charging the batteries. This is fine and normal when adding a second

charger to the BMS30, as the C16 has in its setup. This is the extra charge coming from

the second charger. In the below image, “60A in” is coming in through the load, which

would normally read “5A out”

When charging a battery, make sure the settings at the Battery Setup menu on the Display are

correct for the type of battery under charge. Charging a battery with the wrong profile may

cause the Battery Charger to indicate a fault or give misleading results and cause injury to

persons, damage to the Battery Charger and/or property.
