SRF Linac with well dumped HOMs and high current low energy electron injector are required. At BNL the R&D high-current ERL is under commissioning. The key components of this ERL are: the highly damped 5-cell superconducting RF cavity and the high-current superconducting RF gun. The gun is equipped with multi-alkaline photocathode insertion system. Gun and Linac operating RF frequency is 703.59 MHz. Current laser operates at 10 MHz. The R&D ERL is designed to generate 350 mA of average current. The unique design of merger system allows operating at low injection energy while preserves emittance. The flexible returning loop optics allowed to study different aspects of stability operation. Recently 500 pC per bunch charge and 5mA current in short pulses has been demonstrated. Some aspects of BNL R&D ERL design and beam tests results will be discussed. After ERL commissioning in BLDG 912 the ERL will be relocated to RHIC IP2 to be used for LEReC.
