Dual Battery - Ford Ranger Next-Gen and Ranger Super Duty - Under Bonnet - Jumpstart Feature

This isn't the first under-bonnet dual battery kit built for the Next-Gen Ford Ranger and Ranger Super Duty, and that was never the goal. We let the early kits hit the market first, watched where they failed under real touring conditions, and used that knowledge to engineer the most thoroughly supported under-bonnet dual battery system available for the Ranger.

Every kit is built around a five-piece, laser-cut metal mounting system that bolts the entire tray assembly directly to the vehicle, not just to itself. A top strap carries the integrated REDARC Alpha charger mount, a bottom tray holds the battery, a long support arm ties into a dedicated bracket mounted to a factory vehicle panel, and a fourth bracket runs from the side of the engine bay back into the tray. The result is a battery and charger setup that stays solid over corrugations, sand, and years of touring, with no flex and no movement. Installation requires no cutting and no drilling: factory mounting holes are used throughout, fitted with nut sets rather than having to drill new holes into the vehicle. Every kit ships fully pre-wired and plug-and-play, complete with a red Anderson for solar input already mounted under the bonnet, and is backed by a full PDF installation guide and installation video.

The kit is fully configurable to suit how you use your Ranger. Choose between the REDARC Alpha 25A or Alpha 50A DC-DC charger, both with built-in flat battery reset (jump-start) functionality through the RedVision app, and run power to the rear via a raw wiring harness, a factory-style socket plate, or a 12V distribution box for canopy setups. Add an Invicta Xero 100Ah or 120Ah lithium battery at checkout, or select No Battery if you'd rather fit your own compatible lithium battery. Built for the Ford Ranger Next-Gen and Ranger Super Duty, and expected to fit the Ford Everest given Ford's shared platform from the dash forward. We haven't physically tested and confirmed Everest fitment ourselves yet, so while we're confident it will fit, we can't give it our full guarantee until we have.

Key Features

Five-Piece Bolted Support System – A fully engineered top strap, battery tray, long support arm, and dual mounting brackets tie the entire kit directly into the vehicle, not just to itself, for zero movement over the roughest tracks.

Fully Plug-and-Play – Every kit is completely pre-wired and pre-terminated, ready to connect. No cutting, no crimping, no wiring guesswork.

No Drilling Required – Uses existing factory mounting holes throughout, fitted with nut sets rather than new holes drilled into the vehicle.

Integrated Charger Mount – The top strap doubles as a dedicated mounting point for your REDARC Alpha charger, keeping the whole system compact under the bonnet.

REDARC Alpha Charging – Choose the Alpha 25A or Alpha 50A, both with Bluetooth monitoring, solar priority, and flat battery reset (jump-start) via the RedVision app.

Solar Ready – A red Anderson solar input is mounted under the bonnet, so adding a solar panel is just plug-and-play.

Configurable Rear Power – Run power to the rear via an optional wiring harness, a factory-style socket plate, or a 12V distribution box, whatever your tub, tray, or canopy setup needs.

Choose Your Battery – Add an Invicta Xero 100Ah or 120Ah lithium battery at checkout, or select No Battery to fit your own compatible lithium battery.

Durable Powder Coat Finish – Textured black powder coat across the mounting system for long-term protection against corrosion and wear.

Full Installation Support – A detailed PDF guide and complete installation video walk you through every step of the fit.

Ranger Super Duty Hardware Upgrade

The standard mounting hardware supplied with this kit will fit both the Ford Ranger Next-Gen and Ranger Super Duty. However, the Ranger Next-Gen uses circular mounting holes that already exist in the vehicle, while the Ranger Super Duty uses hexagonal holes, that already exist in the vehicle.

Standard round nutserts can be used in the Super Duty; however, for the most precise, vehicle-specific fitment, we highly recommend adding the optional Ranger Super Duty Hex Nutsert Upgrade Pack. This specialised hardware is offered separately so Ranger Next-Gen owners aren’t charged for components they don’t need.
