Best ATV Accessories: Upgrade Your Machine

If there’s one accessory that every serious ATV rider should have, it’s the RUGCEL Waterproof Synthetic Rope Winch. This particular model is actually designed for use with not only your ATV, but also UTVs, cars, trucks, multipurpose utility trailers, and more. It’s a powerful and versatile winch option. It features a strong, 7.2 horsepower 12-volt series wound motor with a three-stage planetary gear system with a free-spooling clutch. It also comes equipped with 100 feet of 7/16-inch nylon rope and a rugged aluminum guidance cable.

An incredible 13,500-pound load capacity and a rugged, forged clevis hook ensure that you can get out of any situation with this powerful winch system. This unit also comes with a waterproof cover and a one-year warranty on all electrical components for added peace of mind. There is some concern over the overall strength and durability of the nylon rope itself, but overall, this winch is an excellent value.

Few things are more annoying than preparing for a fun day of ATV exploring only to find out you have a dead battery and aren’t going anywhere. That’s where the NOCO Genius 5 Smart Battery Charger comes into play. Since many ATVs aren’t used daily and can sit for weeks without being started up, having a fully automatic battery charger on hand is a necessity for an ATV rider. This particular model is 34 percent smaller and 65 percent more powerful than some of NOCO’s previous offerings. 

It’s designed to charge your 6- or 12-volt lead-acid automotive, marine, or deep-cycle batteries, including gel, AGM, flooded, or lithium-ion batteries. It can charge a dead battery as low as 1-volt, or you can use it in the all-new “Force Mode” to manually begin charging dead batteries as low as zero volts. With built-in overcharge protection, you can leave it plugged in 24/7 to ensure that you never have a dead battery again. Some users complain that operating instructions are a little vague and tough to understand.

However, this unit produces a static discharge that can mess up AM frequencies. Also, double check prior to purchase to see if your state requires a special permit to run something this bright on your ATV.
