  1. Genesis dual battery install and impression...feedback wanted

    Hey Steph, It all looks pretty good from what I can see in the pictures. The click sound is the smart battery combiner connecting the batteries when the voltage rises above 13.1, and then disconnecting the batteries when the voltage drops below 12.7. It is normal to hear a nice solid mechanical...
  2. Omega Dual Battery System Now Available! [Genesis Offroad]

    That's a clever design, but it seems like you're still looking at the same situation. It's either move our bracket out of the way to access the fuse box, or move that bracket out of the way to access the battery. I can't think of any reason why I'd need regular access to my fuse box, but I know...
  3. Omega Dual Battery System Now Available! [Genesis Offroad]

    Heat and cold is certainly something to plan for when using lithium batteries. We did a lot of testing with temperature sensor probes, and because the lithium battery is all the way up at the front corner behind the headlight, and it has another battery right next to it, it is well shielded from...
  4. Omega Dual Battery System Now Available! [Genesis Offroad]

    Correct, you'll loosen the bolt behind the fuse box since it's harder to access. And remove the bolt at the front which is much more accessible, then swing the bracket out of the way. Takes 2 minutes to move it if you ever need access inside the fuse box. Unfortunately there's just not any other...
  5. Omega Dual Battery System Now Available! [Genesis Offroad]

    Genesis Offroad just released the Omega Dual Battery System for the Bronco. This version uses a Redarc Alpha dc-dc charger to charge up your accessory battery while you are driving. You can use it with a lithium or AGM accessory battery, and we recommend using an AGM for your cranking...
  6. [Build Walkthrough] Custom Dual Battery Setup - REDARC BCDC alpha 50r

    @mvilla Wow I can't believe I missed this thread. Great job on engineering all that in a custom solution, very impressive. :like: Just want to let you know about a new option that we just released. We now have our Omega dual battery system for the Bronco in stock. Our kit allows you to use an...
  7. Genesis DIY Dual Battery Setup with Dakota Lithium Battery

    Great question. Both ways have their benefits and limitations. It depends on your needs. We sat down with Erich Ross from Redarc to talk through these differences between our Gen 3 system which uses the alternator to charge both batteries in parallel, and the Omega system which uses the Alpha...
  8. Genesis dual battery kit, with Antigravity lithium batteries.

    Hey Matt, Did you decide on a battery system upgrade yet? We just launched our Omega dual battery system for the Bronco which allows you to run a lithium accessory battery. It includes a Redarc Alpha dc-dc charger to charge your accessory battery, and it uses your alternator to charge an AGM...

  10. Big Update: Our New ORACLE Lighting Facility Is Almost Finished

    That's great! Congrats on the new space!
  11. Genesis DIY Dual Battery Setup with Dakota Lithium Battery

    We were almost ready, we got the first production batch of the Bronco Omega parts a week ago, but ran into a manufacturing "oopsie" :facepalm: so we scrapped the first batch and we're remaking them. Can't ship products that don't meet my standards! I expect to have them ready to ship by Black...
  12. Genesis DIY Dual Battery Setup with Dakota Lithium Battery

    Sorry, to clarify, I was referring to our Gen 3 Power Hub. That's our other dual battery system that uses a smart isolator to charge both batteries with the alternator. The Omega system uses the Redarc Alpha charger to charge the accessory battery. The Gen 3 lid and the Omega lid both sit on...
  13. Genesis DIY Dual Battery Setup with Dakota Lithium Battery

    Thanks for checking in. I got the prototype charger bracket test fit into our Bronco, and it fit 100% perfect, first try. :rockon: There will be an Omega version of the lid on top of the batteries which holds all the wiring components. The Bronco lid prototype should be ready within a couple...
  14. BATTERIES 101 - Everything you need to know about lead acid, AGM, and LFP lithium batteries

    I have no experience with those vehicle brands, so I won't comment on something I don't know about. However, I have to suspect you may be mixing up Odyssey with Optima. We sold both brands for a long time, but I had to drop Optima several years ago due to having to replace so many of them...
