This isn't the first under-bonnet dual battery kit built for the Ford Ranger Next-Gen and Ranger Super Duty, and that was never the goal. We let the early kits hit the market first, looked at where additional support was needed, and used that knowledge to engineer a seriously solid under-bonnet dual battery system for these platforms.
Every kit is built around a five-piece, laser-cut metal mounting system that ties the entire assembly directly into the vehicle rather than relying on the battery tray alone. A top strap carries the integrated REDARC Alpha charger mount, while the battery tray, support arm and additional mounting brackets work together to distribute the load across multiple vehicle mounting points.
The result is a properly supported battery and charger setup engineered for touring conditions, corrugations and off-road use. Installation uses existing factory mounting locations with no drilling or cutting required, and every kit is supplied pre-wired and pre-terminated to take as much work as possible out of the installation.
The system is fully configurable depending on how you use your Ranger. Choose between a REDARC Alpha 25A or Alpha 50A DC-DC charger, add an Invicta Xero lithium battery or supply your own compatible lithium battery, and choose from multiple rear power options including socket wiring, a 12V Distribution Box or Ranger factory-style Socket Plate.
Important Fitment Information: The Ford Ranger Raptor is not compatible due to interference with the factory airbox. Further testing is currently being completed across Ranger variants and the Ford Everest before additional compatibility is confirmed.
Battery weight limits are vehicle-specific. The Ford Ranger Next-Gen has a maximum allowable battery weight of 15kg, while the Ranger Super Duty allows up to 20kg. The iTechworld ITECH160X PRO 160Ah is not suitable for the regular Ranger Next-Gen and is suitable for the Ranger Super Duty only.
Five-Piece Bolted Support System – A fully engineered battery tray, top strap, support arm and mounting brackets tie the system into multiple points on the vehicle for a seriously solid installation.
Vehicle-Specific Battery Weight Limits – Maximum battery weight is 15kg for the Ranger Next-Gen and 20kg for the Ranger Super Duty.
Fully Plug-and-Play – Supplied pre-wired and pre-terminated to minimise cutting, crimping and wiring work during installation.
No Drilling Required – Uses existing factory mounting locations throughout, with no drilling or cutting of the vehicle required.
Integrated Charger Mount – The upper battery strap incorporates a dedicated mounting position for the REDARC Alpha charger, keeping the complete system compact and supported.
REDARC Alpha Charging – Choose between the Alpha 25A and Alpha 50A, with Bluetooth monitoring, solar charging and start battery support functionality.
Solar Ready – A red Anderson solar input is mounted under the bonnet, making it easy to connect a compatible solar panel.
Configurable Rear Power – Choose socket wiring only, add our 12V Distribution Box for canopy and tray setups, or select the factory-style Ranger Socket Plate.
Multiple Battery Options – Choose an Invicta Xero battery or supply your own compatible lithium battery within the dimensional and vehicle-specific weight limits.
Full Installation Support – Supplied with a detailed PDF installation guide and installation video to walk you through the fitment.
A waterproof, smart-alternator-compatible 25A DC-DC charger with Bluetooth monitoring, solar charging and start battery support.
Provides faster charging capability while retaining the complete range of REDARC Alpha features.
Supply and install your own compatible lithium battery.
Internal battery space is approximately:
308mm (L) x 168mm (W) x 220mm (H)
Your selected battery must also remain within the maximum allowable battery weight for your vehicle:
Ford Ranger Next-Gen – Maximum 15kg
Ford Ranger Super Duty – Maximum 20kg
Battery dimensions, terminal locations and weight should always be confirmed before purchasing a third-party battery.
The ITECH120X PRO has been physically fitted during our development.
The ITECH160X PRO 160Ah is not suitable for the regular Ford Ranger Next-Gen and is suitable for the Ranger Super Duty only.
A high-performance lithium battery featuring an advanced BMS, Bluetooth monitoring and rugged IP67 construction, backed by a 3-year under-bonnet warranty.
Increased capacity for higher power demands, featuring an advanced BMS, CAN bus communication and Bluetooth monitoring, also backed by a 3-year under-bonnet warranty.
The standard mounting hardware supplied with this kit can be used with both the Ford Ranger Next-Gen and Ranger Super Duty. However, there is a difference between the factory mounting holes used in each vehicle.
The Ranger Next-Gen uses circular mounting holes, while the Ranger Super Duty uses existing hexagonal mounting holes.
Standard round nutserts can be used in the Super Duty; however, for the most precise vehicle-specific installation, we recommend adding the optional Ranger Super Duty Hex Nutsert Upgrade Pack.
This specialised hardware is offered separately so Ranger Next-Gen owners aren't paying for components they don't require.
No rear socket wiring is included.
If you choose to add your own rear power system, you can connect directly to the MIDI fuse outputs located on top of the dual battery kit, giving you flexibility to configure the rear of the vehicle exactly how you want.
Includes 2 x lengths of 7 metres of 8 B&S cable with durable self-winding sheathing.
The wiring is pre-terminated to connect directly to the MIDI fuses under the bonnet and finished with two Anderson plugs at the rear.
Perfect if you want flexible output options – flush mount the Andersons, connect them to your own socket box, or use the cabling as the starting point for your own rear power setup.
Everything included in the Socket Wiring option, plus our 12V Distribution Box for a complete rear power solution.
The Distribution Box features:
Designed to be mounted in your canopy, tub or tray for a clean, ready-to-use rear power setup.
Everything included in the Socket Wiring option, plus our replacement 12V Socket Plate for Rangers fitted with the factory plastic socket panel.
The replacement plate retains the roller-shutter switch and provides:
Ford Ranger Next-Gen – 2022 to Present
Designed for the Ford Ranger Next-Gen platform, with further testing currently being completed across vehicle variants.
Maximum Battery Weight: 15kg
Ford Ranger Super Duty – 2026 to Present
Designed for the Ford Ranger Super Duty platform, with further vehicle testing currently being completed.
Maximum Battery Weight: 20kg
The Super Duty's higher allowable battery weight also allows fitment of the iTechworld ITECH160X PRO 160Ah, subject to all dimensional and fitment requirements.
Ford Ranger Raptor – NOT COMPATIBLE
The Ford Ranger Raptor is confirmed as not compatible with this kit due to interference with the factory airbox.
Ford Everest – TESTING IN PROGRESS
Ford Everest compatibility is currently undergoing further testing and should not be considered confirmed fitment at this stage.
