Expert Reply:
We do offer battery chargers, including AC-powered unit like NOCO Genius # NOC94FR and DC-powered types like Redarc # 331-BCDC1225D, as well as Solar panel chargers like # PTW2997 that help maintain your auxiliary battery whenever sunlight is available.
The vehicle wiring kits we sell are generally limited to passenger vehicles to allow them to tow recreational trailers. If you are looking for a heavy-duty wiring kit to deliver power to your dump bed motor this would best be sourced from a trucking supply company.
You may just need a higher amperage capacity battery for the dump bed motor. The motor should indicate its power requirements so that you can select a battery with some extra capacity.
