Why a True® Smart auxiliary battery kit?

The recent trends in the electrical accessory have brought the seldom-discussed issue of an adequate power supply and reserve to the forefront.

As a distributor, the end-users are relying on your technical knowledge and skills related to the vehicle that helps car or truck owners to make a better judgment in their brand selection. To make sure it is completely functional to address its exact usage.  If you failed to explain the need for additional electrical reserve capacity via auxiliary battery and appropriate isolation tools then you deserve to bear the brunt of that customer’s anger and dissatisfaction when it leaves them stranded or unable to use their vehicle. Luckily,  TrueAm Inc’s True® Small Dual Battery kit is the single most efficient way to avoid these issues.

The True® Small Aux Battery Kit provides close proximity installation with a modern way of isolating dual batteries to ensure that the vehicle always has a fully charged primary battery to supply vital starting and engine functions while still making full use of the vehicle’s available charging mechanism to keep both batteries charged when the voltage is available.  The simplicity is unparalleled and the comfort it guarantees is, to say the least, superior.

To make sure we have waterproof connecting cable, all cable lugs are professionally crimped and sealed with a clear adhesive lined shrink tube allowing visual confirmation of seal.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is P.E.P.® (Proprietary Efficiency Programming)?
  • P.E.P.® is TrueAm’s smart logic that optimizes battery protection and charging efficiency.
  • It ensures the isolator only connects when safe and beneficial for both batteries
  • No, the SBI doesn’t regulate amperage. That’s handled by your alternator and voltage regulator.
  • The SBI simply controls when the second battery is connected based on voltage thresholds.
  • DIY-friendly with waterproof cables, 3M Dual Lock™ fasteners, and clear wiring diagrams.
  • Can be mounted on any clean flat surface—including directly on the battery case
4. Can I manually override or shut it off?
  • The male connector underneath can be wired for remote shutoff.
  • Inline switches are optional but not required—SBI handles disconnection automatically.

Features

The True® Small Dual Battery Kit (Model: DBK12SMALL) is a compact power management system designed for vehicles where space is limited, such as small trucks, SUVs, UTVs, and boats. Its primary purpose is to allow you to run accessories (lights, audio, winches) off a secondary battery without the risk of draining your main starter battery.

Here are the key features and components of the kit:

Core Technology

  • Smart Battery Isolator (SBI): The heart of the kit is a 140A voltage-sensitive relay. It uses Proprietary Efficiency Programming (PEP) to monitor the voltage of your primary battery.

  • Automatic Charging: When your engine is running and the primary battery reaches 13.3V, the isolator engages to charge both batteries. When the engine is off and voltage drops below 12.8V, it automatically disconnects (isolates) the batteries.

  • Dual Sensing: It can detect a charge from either side. If you connect a wall charger to your auxiliary battery, the SBI will still engage to maintain the primary battery as well.

Physical Build & Durability

  • Weatherproof & Rugged: The isolator and cables are 100% waterproof and shockproof, making them suitable for off-road or marine environments.

  • High-Flex Cabling: The kit uses #6 AWG high-flex copper cables rated for heat up to 130°C (266°F) to prevent insulation failure in tight engine bays.

  • Compact Footprint: Specifically designed for “close proximity” installation, meaning the two batteries are located relatively near each other (within 2-3 feet).

Shipping

  • Orders are shipped via USPS First Class or Priority Mail, with up to $100 insurance included.
  • Most orders are processed within 1–3 business days and come with tracking.
  • The company aims for same-day shipping if placed before 2:30 PM PT, excluding weekends and U.S. federal holidays.
  • Best of all, shipping is free—no hidden fees.
