WHATS IN THIS PACKAGE

100AH 200A BMS LIFETEK NEXT GEN RANGER/RAPTOR BATTERY

The LIFETEK 100Ah lithium battery is purpose-designed for Ford Next Gen Ranger and Raptor vehicles, offering 200A continuous discharge capacity with 2400W inverter compatibility for demanding auxiliary applications.

Constructed with automotive-grade cells rated for 3000 cycles and weighing 12kg, this compact behind-seat system incorporates advanced thermal and voltage management: discharge protection engages at 10V with 10.5V restart threshold, charge disconnect activates at 15V (restart 14.8V), and temperature safeguards span -20°C discharge protection (reset -15°C) through 60°C discharge limits (reset 55°C), with charge suspension below 1°C and above 55°C.

M10 terminals deliver secure connections. Engineered for expedition-grade reliability, this battery system sustains critical equipment during extended remote operations across challenging Australian terrain.

PROJECTA PROCHARGE 25A DC-DC CHARGER

The PDC25 is a precision dual-input charger that regulates 12VDC alternator and solar power to optimal charging voltages, ensuring auxiliary batteries achieve full capacity while maximising longevity.

Sealed to IP67 standards, this unit withstands dust, water, and thermal extremes, making it suitable for exposed mounting locations on your vehicle.

The charger simultaneously processes both alternator and solar inputs, intelligently blending available power sources for uninterrupted charging performance.

Advanced protection systems safeguard against over-temperature conditions, reverse polarity faults, voltage anomalies, and spark generation—critical for reliable operation in remote settings. 

This DC-DC is a perfect fit for the Ford Next Gen Ranger and Raptor platforms, the PDC25 transforms inconsistent power availability into stable, battery-safe charging that sustains essential equipment during extended off-grid expeditions across harsh Australian conditions.

VICTRON ENERGY SMARTSHUNT IP65 300A

The SmartShunt IP65 eliminates traditional display panels by channelling all battery intelligence directly to your smartphone. 

This Bluetooth-enabled monitor syncs with the VictronConnect app to deliver comprehensive data including state of charge, time-to-go forecasting, voltage, current consumption, and historical trends.

As a streamlined alternative to BMV monitors, it provides equivalent monitoring capability whilst reducing installation complexity and visual intrusion.

The IP65 weatherproof design ensures reliable operation in demanding environments.

Engineered for auxiliary power systems prioritising wireless convenience and minimal wiring, the SmartShunt IP65 stands as the benchmark for intelligent, clutter-free battery management in modern vehicle builds.

The Thumper Universal Relay Loom mount delivers heavy-duty isolation control for dual battery systems across all vehicle types.

This pre-wired, ignition-activated relay automatically supplies power to your charging circuit when the engine runs, then isolates from the starter battery when the ignition switches off protecting your primary battery from discharge. 

Engineered for under-bonnet installation, it's fully compatible with DC chargers mounted on battery boxes, inline, or under the bonnet.

An essential component for reliable dual battery management in both modern and classic vehicles.

AUSMOTION BEHIND SEAT DC-DC CHARGER MOUNT

This mounting bracket is purpose-built to integrate a DC-DC dual battery charger seamlessly into Ford Ranger (RA) behind-seat battery installations.

By positioning the charger on the cab's rear wall, it minimises cable runs between charger and battery, optimising system efficiency.

The bracket accommodates popular models including Projecta and Redarc units, nestling neatly above factory audio amplifiers where installed.

While the carpet panel remains intact for a factory appearance, many installers prefer selective trimming to maintain clear visibility of LED status indicators essential for monitoring charging performance and system diagnostics.
