Behind-Seat Lithium Battery Install for Off-Grid Touring

ALTIQ Behind Grille Lightbar

Boost Your Ford Ranger Raptor’s Power with the Custom Lithium 100Ah Battery

Discover how Sandgate Auto Electrics & Automotive Services upgraded a Ford Ranger Raptor with a Custom Lithium 100Ah battery and power accessories like a REDARC BCDC charger, auxiliary outlets, and a behind-grille lightbar for ultimate adventure readiness.

Whether you’re hitting the open road or venturing deep into the wilderness, having a reliable power source in the shape of a dual battery system is essential for any 4WD enthusiast. After all, in this day and age we’re powering more devices than ever, and have so many fridge and freezer options to choose from for our vehicles.

At Sandgate Auto Electrics, we recently worked on a Ford Ranger Raptor, outfitting it with a range of electrical upgrades to make it adventure-ready. The star of the show? A Custom Lithium 100Ah lithium battery (Ford Ranger Dual Battery Kit), designed to seamlessly fit behind the rear seat—perfect for maximising space while ensuring consistent power wherever the road takes you.

Why the Custom Lithium 100Ah Battery Is a Game Changer

The Custom Lithium 100Ah battery is no ordinary auxiliary power solution. With a no-drill bracket system specifically designed for Ford Rangers (2015-2024), including PX2, PX3, and Next Gen RA models, this all-in-one system offers an Australian-made product that perfectly complements your 4WD setup without the need for additional trays or complex installations.

  • Space-saving design: Installed behind the rear seat, this lithium battery solution doesn’t encroach on valuable tub or cabin space, making it ideal for those who need to maximize their vehicle’s storage capacity.

  • Easy to install: Thanks to the no-drill installation, this battery system is easy to bolt in without needing extra modifications. It comes with prefabricated brackets and a mounting solution for your shunt, making installation a breeze.

  • Versatile power options: Available in 100Ah, 150Ah, or 200Ah capacities, the Custom Lithium battery can power your adventure no matter how long you plan to stay off-grid.

  • Australian innovation: Proudly Australian-made, this battery supports local jobs while driving innovation in vehicle power solutions. You’re not just buying a battery—you’re investing in quality, local craftsmanship.

  • Victron Battery Monitor: If selected, the Victron monitor will be mounted and configured before delivery, ensuring you’re ready to hit the road with fully managed and monitored power from day one.

Whether you’re powering fridges, lights, or other accessories, this system is robust, reliable, and tailored for the Ford Ranger and Raptor, making it an ideal upgrade for anyone seeking more adventure without compromising on power.

REDARC BCDC Charger: Efficient Charging on the Go

To ensure the Custom Lithium battery stays charged during long drives, we installed a 40A REDARC Core BCDC charger. This smart charging system is designed to keep your auxiliary battery fully charged by converting power from your vehicle’s alternator while driving.

  • Why it’s essential: A BCDC charger protects your vehicle’s main battery by efficiently charging your auxiliary battery. You’ll have peace of mind knowing your accessories will run smoothly without compromising your vehicle’s starting power.

  • Adventure-ready: The REDARC charger is perfect for extended off-grid trips, ensuring your auxiliary battery remains topped up so you can power all your devices.

Auxiliary Outlets in the Tub: Power Where You Need It

Convenience is key when you’re out exploring. To make sure power is easily accessible, we installed auxiliary outlets in the tub of the Ranger Raptor. These outlets allow for easy plug-and-play power, perfect for running your fridge, lights, or other devices without needing cables cluttering up your cabin.

  • Why auxiliary outlets? They provide convenient access to power in the rear of your vehicle, making it easy to set up camp or run essential gear while on the go.

  • Tailored for adventurers: Whether you need to power camping lights, a fridge, or an air compressor, the outlets make sure you’ve got everything you need right at your fingertips.

ALTIQ Supernova Raptor Next-Gen 32″ LED Light Bar Kit Lighting – for Any Terrain

When you’re driving in low-visibility conditions or tackling night-time off-road tracks, having proper lighting is crucial. We installed an ALTIQ behind-grille lightbar kit to provide high-performance lighting while maintaining the sleek, rugged look of the Ranger Raptor.

  • Stealthy and powerful: The behind-grille lightbar is hidden for a clean, factory look but packs a punch when it comes to lighting up the trail ahead.

  • Enhanced safety and visibility: Whether you’re navigating dark trails or setting up camp after sunset, this lightbar ensures you have optimal visibility in all conditions.
