I am in the process of buying up for my dual battery system and trying to decide if the Redarc bcdc offers any benifits over the Sbi12 and the alternator diode upgrade, and is it worth the extra $300 odd?
I will be installing a d27 yellow top as the Aux battery (and will replace the main with the same when required), and after reading that plenty of people use dissimilar batteries with this the sbi12 without problems, is there any real benifit to the bcdc? Does a yellow top charge to (or close to) full capacity without a dc-dc charger, using the standard alternator with diode upgrade, as at the end of the day this is the most important factor?
We are also looking at a ct that runs a bms1215 system that will handle charging duties and solar for the trailer, so solar wont be required on the car.
I have searched all over the place but cant find any definitive answers to sway me either way...
