AllOffroad 4x4 | Simpson Desert | Hay River Southern End Part 3 ALLOFFROAD [2022] @AlloffroadAu | Uploaded October 2022 | Updated October 2024, 10 hours ago.
In the 3rd episode of our 2022 Simpson Desert 4wd adventure, we leave the Madigan line and explorer the Southern end of the Hay River Track. We spend the night at an old Indigenous Midden site, have a very close Dingo encounter, and Steve gets himself stuck on one of the Hay River dune crossings. We find a beautiful camp spot between the gidgee trees spoiled by inconsiderate low lives who cant dig holes for toilet paper and crap in sand.... I also have a look if On Track Meals are worth taking and go through Steves's Troop Carrier Set up.

In Part 3 of our Victorian High Country 4wd adventure, we tackle the supposedly very challenging Mt Sunday track in the wet after a very stormy night and little sleep on top of Mt Sunday 1200m. The actual 4wd track did not disappoint. You need to be constantly alert and on your toes, as its very narrow and has many logs hidden in the foliage, which is creeping in. Some interesting and very slippery slate steps mixed with muddy descents and steep rocky ascents ensure an eventful half-day. In our case, the track was quite punishing for some and there was a fair bit of panel damage.

In this video, I share my experiences with off-road Trailer Hitches (they are also safer for on-road) and why I spent many frustrated trips with a McHitch Uniglide before deciding to bite the bullet and change my Trailer Hitch. During my research, I narrowed it down to two Hitches, the Cruisemaster DO35 and the Hitch-Ezy. I also go briefly into the shortcomings of the McHitch and the recent closure of the company.

![Redarc BCDC1250D vs Enerdrive EN3DC40+ | DCDC Charger Comparison [2021]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/NFYMwRAmj4E/hqdefault.jpg "Redarc BCDC1250D vs Enerdrive EN3DC40+ | DCDC Charger Comparison [2021]
In todays video, I will be comparing two in-car 12v DCDC chargers, the Redarc BCDC1250D vs the Enerdrive EN3DC40+. I will explain the specs and features of both DCDC Chargers and even reveal a few undocumented features for the Redarc BCDC1250D. I will also give my opinion on the Pros and Cons of both 12v DCDC Chargers for use in a 4wd and especially with LiFePo4 Lithium.
UPDATE+++++
In my video, I explain the boost mode time limit can be reset simply by disconnecting the load for instance restarting the car this is incorrect the boost time limit can only be reset
by disconnecting from all sources (input and output) which is usually not practical to do.
Here is how the boost charge time limit works:
The logic of the BCDC1250D includes:
• a 2 hours timeout in Bulk (also called Boost) where the unit will automatically move to Absorption / Float
• a total of 4 hours (from the beginning of Boost charging) before the unit can return to Boost charging
These timeouts were specifically introduced for safety reasons to avoid damage of batteries in harsh conditions (especially high-temperature environment) and to protect the charging of smaller capacity batteries and avoid them being damaged by a high charge rate being applied for too long.
For example, a large 200Ah lithium battery bank requiring 4h of full charging at 50ah, would be charged 2h in Boost, 2h of Absorption/Float (which will still provide some charging), 2h in Boost, etc until the charging is complete.
