Hey All!

My names Ryan, and I bounce around WA State mostly and dabble into Oregon. I also am the Regional Sales Manager for REDARC Electronics for the West! I’m here to get to know the community especially in the NW, and help out with any questions I can answer about our products. Looking forward to getting out to local events or meeting up with y’all when it’s safe.
I need to pick your brain if you don't mind; and please bear with me if I ramble off a little (closing out another 14hr day, my eyes are playing tricks on me)
Alright
I'm currently running Rugged Ridged Dual Battery relay kit on my CJ5, with a Bestek 300W Inverter tucked away in the center counsel. For the best of me I haven't been able to source the parasitic drain, and previous shop couldn't put their finger on why my AGM battery's always die if I leave the Jeep sitting for over a month. I should mention that the Jeep has a Full Painless Performance Wiring Harness, Painless Gauge Harness, (I basically replaced everything on this Jeep over the last 5 years). She kills every battery, even before I had the dual battery setup installed.

Now to REDARC - would you recommend that I add a Battery Charger to the Jeep, and would you have any local dealers that do installs on the east coast (Upstate NY)? I would really like to install some solar panels on top of a roof rack that I will be installing this summer.
Well thank you for your time

A better way to make direct contact with another member is by forum message, you will get a much quicker response.
