Next Gen Ford Ranger/Raptor Dual Battery System

Absolutely! Our DES lithium batteries are available for purchase individually. See our website for prices & warranty information.

We understand that purchasing a DES Unit is a considerable investment, and you want to know it’s worth the money. Whilst there are cheaper alternatives on the market, DES has taken the time to research its competitors and have found other dual battery systems:

• Often come as a mounting accessory only without wiring harness, connectors, chargers, or battery monitors
• Provide less power capacity
• Use heavy AGM batteries
• Have a limited amount of power outlets
• Use non-rated tie down battery straps
• Require major vehicle modification or professional trade install
• Have no solar input or dc/dc charger
• Are manufactured from heavier materials impacting vehicles GVM capacity

Our DES units are Australian designed & manufactured with quality, efficiency, safety & maximum power in mind. Still not sure? see our website for DES Unit specs for comparative information.

The DES Unit will power your standard camping accessories including lights, fridge/freezers, air compressors, 12V camp ovens etc but for those who like to travel in comfort, the DES Unit could power anything with a 12V converter or an additional 240V inverter such as a CPAP, television or rated induction cookers etc.

We specifically developed installation instructions with novices in mind. The step-by-step instructions come complete with real pictures and DES offer free telephone support during business hours in the unlikely event you get stuck.

Whilst Lithium batteries are more expensive than AGM or Lead Acid batteries; lithium batteries have up to 80% useable capacity compared to traditional batteries that have only 50% useable capacity. Lithium batteries are also lighter in weight and compact in size for maximum space saving.

The DES Unit has been customised to be model specific meaning if your vehicles make/model is listed then it will fit! DES is in the process of developing the unit for other makes/models and will update the website when these become available.

Provided you follow the step-by-step installation guide, care & maintenance instructions then by all accounts the only component you need ever replace are the batteries when they have expelled their life cycle.

Provided your new car is the same make/model then you can absolutely reuse the DES unit.

Absolutely. The DES Unit does not interfere with any OEM child safety restraints.

The DES Unit does not require any major vehicle modifications or changes to OEM electrical components that would impact your manufacturers warranty.

No, as the DES Unit has a low voltage isolator inbuilt into the charger.

Absolutely! Any aftermarket vehicle accessory should always be listed on your insurance. Contact your insurer for further information.

The DES Unit is engineered as a complete product and DES utilises special tooling in the manufacturing process to ensure a precise fit. As such the backing plate is not available for individual sale.

Using two lithium batteries not only maximises useable space in the vehicle but also offers an increase in battery capacity; meaning you can power more electrical accessories for longer.
