When you’re heading off-grid, power isn’t just a convenience - it’s peace of mind. At ALPINE Campers, we’ve chosen REDARC’s ALPHA charging systems to sit at the heart of our hybrid camper power setups. Why? Because they’re Australian-made, battle-tested, and designed for remote adventure - just like our campers.
Here’s how they power your freedom.
What Is REDARC ALPHA?
The REDARC ALPHA range is a new generation of DC-DC smart charging and battery management systems. Designed for modern lithium battery banks and integrated with REDARC’s RedVision display system, these setups offer intelligent charging, monitoring, and control for serious off-grid capability.
At ALPINE, we use two versions across our range:
-
ALPHA-50 in our ACX spec hybrids
-
ALPHA-100 in all FX, ADX, and FDX spec hybrids
Let’s break that down.
ACX Spec (Adventure Ready)
-
ALPHA-50 Charger
-
400AH Lithium Battery
-
600W Solar
-
RedVision monitoring
-
Portable solar input (Anderson plug)
Off-Grid Capability:
This setup is perfect for weekend warriors or couples chasing remote getaways for 2–4 days at a time. The 400AH lithium battery and 600W of solar provide ample power for:
-
Fridges and freezers
-
Internal and external lighting
-
Charging phones, laptops, and devices
-
Running water pumps and basic appliances
Thanks to the ALPHA-50’s dual input, you can charge from both the car while driving and your solar array while parked. If you camp in shaded or forested areas, plug in a portable solar panel via the Anderson plug to maintain charge.
FX, ADX, and FDX Spec (Extended Touring & Off-Grid Living)
These premium and dual axle campers step up to the ALPHA-100 and offer significantly more onboard energy capacity:
FX Spec
-
600AH Lithium Battery (Upgradeable to 900AH)
-
600W Solar
-
ALPHA-100
-
RedVision Monitor
-
Anderson Plug for Portable Solar
ADX & FDX Spec
-
600AH Lithium Battery (Upgradeable to 900AH)
-
800W Solar
-
ALPHA-100
-
RedVision Monitor
-
Anderson Plug for Portable Solar
Off-Grid Capability:
This setup is designed for serious remote stays - think up to 10–14 days off-grid without needing to move. With the ALPHA-100 managing multiple power sources, you can:
-
Run full fridges and freezers 24/7
-
Power 240V appliances like induction cooktops or coffee machines (with inverter)
-
Enjoy hot showers, pressurised water systems, and lighting without compromise
-
Stay connected via charging for phones, laptops, Starlink, etc.
-
Use RedVision to monitor water levels, power draw, and battery status in real-time
The larger 800W solar on ADX and FDX models recharges faster and more reliably in changing conditions - ideal for extended basecamp-style camping.
🔋 Real-world example:
A couple or family travelling through the Red Centre or Cape York can stay off-grid for over a week, recharging each day via solar, topping up with portable solar panels in shaded areas, and only using vehicle charging when moving camp. Even with high daily power use (e.g, coffee machine + fridge + lighting + water pump + device charging), these systems deliver comfort without compromise.
Why REDARC? Why ALPINE?
There’s a reason we don’t mess around with budget systems. The combination of REDARC ALPHA + RedVision + our lithium powerbanks gives Alpine owners:
-
Rapid recharge rates even in low light
-
Multi-source charging (vehicle + solar + mains)
-
Smart automation and monitoring
-
Battery longevity through intelligent regulation
-
Confidence to stay off-grid longer - even in tough conditions
Every model also features a dedicated Anderson plug to connect a portable solar blanket or panel. This is a key tool for off-grid life — allowing you to position a panel in the sun while your camper rests in the shade, or give your batteries a boost during long stays.
Upgrade Options – For Even More Freedom
You can customise your off-grid setup:
-
ACX: Upgrade from ALPHA-50 to ALPHA-100 to unlock full RedVision control and increased charging performance
-
All models: Upgrade lithium from 400AH or 600AH to 900AH for more runtime
-
All models: Add a folding portable solar panel (e.g 200W) to stay powered even when stationary or shaded
