I recently bought a 2018 1000-5 deluxe and am adding a 4500lb winch, honda heater, kenwood radio, and 20 inch nilight light bar. With only these upgrades will i need dual battery setup or will i be okay with what i have with a single battery?

that setup will be ok on 1 battery depending on what your doing with them. if barely winching and only really running radio when motor running then fine.

if doing hard winching ,suction mud or playing music while machine isnt running for periods of time. 2 batteries.

Hey Tyler - as some have said - you can probably get away with one battery - but why take the chance with a winch and a heater? It can be a fun project to add the 2nd battery too. Here is a full explanation on how to do it with wiring diagrams:
