Thread: Traxide vs. Redarc

All the sequences do look a little confusing, however in saying that, the only time I have ever had an issue with mine, was when I happened to notice it didn't look to be doing what it normally did (flashing wise). So on inspection, I remembered I'd cleaned out the fridge after a spill from one of the daughters semi frozen alcoholic beverages,,, only to realise I hadn't turned the fridge off afterwards.
The result was, the fridge had been running empty for close to three months,, one battery dead flat,, but never had an issue with the car starting at all.
For me,, this is why the Traxide is there. In the end, if your food spoils, or (Heavan forbid) your drinks go warm,, it doesn't matter,, at least you can still start the car and go.

Whats the led sequence for normal charging, and what do you do to put it in winch mode? These are the only 2 things i think i require.

Haha,, I asked Tim this this morning, so now I feel qualified enough to answer.

Switch towards the LED is normal running, away from the LED is winch mode,,, (I think &#129300

Must mark mine.It gets knocked and I forget which way!!!!!!
Tim should have the switch marked.

I keep a copy of the instructions in the centre console. If only I would remember they are there when I need them.

I used to as well, but my morse code isn't quite up to scratch 😊

G'day all & especially Tim. Following this with interest being the satisfied owner of one of Tim's D4-5U kits. Very happy. Question now is around using a solar panel to keep everything topped up. Can I simply plug the panel into the rear Anderson plug without a regulator? Thanks, Jock.
