Just add the battery. The 112 will actually draw less amps wide open. More watts but less amps.
Wiring will be fine. The breaker might need changed out though. Usually the 80# has 50a breaker(s) and the 112# needs a 60a.

Change the breaker to a 60 amp if you're upgrading to an Ultrex, 50 amp will probably be fine if you're getting a 112 Fortrex.
