Optima Battery Installation for Ultimate Vehicle Performance

Optima AGM Battery and Redarc BCDC battery charger for the ultimate driving performance

One of the high performance batteries we use for late model vehicles is the Optima AGM battery.

This battery uses pure lead SPIRALCELL TECHNOLOGY® to provide winning power for all drivers. Faster recharge and the ability to provide massive current on demand is making OPTIMA the preferred choice for performance upgrades and high-end audio systems.

We often pair it up for our travel enthusiasts with the #Redarc BCDC1225D - a 12V 25A in-vehicle DC to DC battery charger. It has separate DC and solar charging inputs and maximises the performance and life of your auxiliary battery.

The Maximum Power Point Tracking solar regulator allows the BCDC1225D charger to charge from both the solar panel and the alternator.

This technology was built in Australia and tested for our unique conditions: it will work in extreme heat and can handle deep water crossings, making it reliable if you’re heading out into the bush and want to get there and back again safely.🌅🗺

What is an AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat) battery?

nonspillable, deep cycles, mounting flexibility.
delivers high quality at optimal capacity at a large range of temperatures
works great at high amp needs and has a very slow self-discharge rate (meaning you can leave one plugged in and you won't waste a lot of energy).
features a thick AGM separator which absorbs and holds acid to prevent spilling
designed as an uniform book of plates tightly compressed in each cell and held under pressure in the rigid battery case
designed to resist vibration, to recharge faster, to cycle more and last longer in demanding applications.
charges very easily and holds its charge very well.
