Step-by-step Instructions for Installing and Using Your KickAss Battery Box

Every KickAss customer understands the importance of a reliable power source when you’re traveling or exploring the great outdoors. The KickAss Battery Box is designed to simplify your off-grid experience, offering a secure, efficient, and user-friendly power solution. Here’s how to properly install and use your KickAss Battery Box to maximize its benefits.

Plug & Play Setup

One of the key advantages of the KickAss Battery Box is its fully pre-wired design, allowing for a simple plug-and-play setup without any complex wiring or installation hassles. Here’s a quick guide to get you up and running:

  1. Select the Right Battery: Start by choosing a compatible 12V battery that fits your battery box. We suggest the KickAss 120Ah 12V Deep Cycle AGM Battery.
  2. Secure the Battery: Place the battery inside the box and secure it using the adhesive silicone pads and Velcro strap. This will keep the battery firmly in place, even when driving on rough terrain in your 4WD.
  3. Attach the Terminals: Connect the battery terminals to the corresponding positive and negative terminals inside the box. The heavy gauge copper wiring within the box ensures efficient and reliable power transfer.
  4. Installing a DCDC Charger (Optional): If you’d like to add a DCDC charger, the battery box is equipped with pre-drilled holes for a hassle-free installation. Just follow the instructions provided by your DCDC charger’s manufacturer. Alternatively, you could opt for the KickAss Battery Box with DCDC Charger, which comes with a 20A KickAss DCDC Charger already installed and ready to use.
  5. Secure the Lid: After all connections are made, close the lid of the battery box and secure it.
  6. Activate the Isolator Switch: To connect the battery to the lid’s outputs, switch on the isolator. Then, plug in your preferred charger to top up the battery before your next outing.
