Good to know: adding 18 amp hours to your UTV changes how you use lights and audio on long rides. That extra capacity lets accessories run longer while your starter stays protected.
Engineered with an 80 amp isolator, it combines sources when the key is on and protects the starter when the key is off, feeding accessories from the auxiliary cell. A heavy-duty mount resists vibration and impacts for true off-road service.
Expect a fresh, sealed AGM that ships fully charged with hardware sized for your specific vehicle. The UTV supplies system is maintenance-free in daily use, though a charger or maintainer is recommended to prevent sulfation and extend life.
Shop online to confirm fitment and get fast shipping, minimizing downtime from order to install. It preserves stock starting power yet adds usable amp-hours for winches, lights, and stereo on any trail.
Why Choose a Can-Am Dual Battery Kit for Your Next Adventure
If you run lights and audio late, a second power source keeps the starter prepared. The 80 amp isolator links both sources with Key ON and isolates the starting unit with Key OFF so accessory loads draw from the secondary cell instead of the factory one.
Run accessories without draining your stock battery
Drive light bars, audio, GPS, and heaters without draining the starter. You get steadier voltage to sensitive electronics, reducing dim and drop during load spikes.
Confident starts thanks to preserved stock starting power
The isolator-driven system automatically prioritizes preserving stock battery so your machine cranks strong after a long night with electronics running.
- Extra reserve: A second battery gives extra amp hours for high-draw gear at camp or on long rides.
- Reduced strain: Moving accessory load off the starter lowers wear on circuits/components.
- Automatic management: No manual switches—key position controls behavior automatically.
Can Am dual battery kit Features and Benefits
Practical advantages for real trails and day-to-day reliability. The design pairs automatic energy management with a rugged mount and sealed cells to keep electronics running without risking the starter.
The 80 amp battery isolator links both power sources when the key is on and isolates the starter cell when the key is off. Automation prevents accessory drain on the starting battery.
Rugged mounting bracket for vibration and hits
The reinforced mount holds steady across washboard and big landings. It resists loosening and fatigue so the install stays tidy and serviceable.

Kit Contents
A clear parts list explains what’s included and how each piece protects the starter while feeding accessories.
Choose a full package with a secondary agm battery or select the bracket-only route if you’ve already got a compatible battery. Either way preserves the starter and adds usable capacity for lights, audio, and recovery tools.
Primary components
- Battery isolator relay (80A) for charge management between sources.
- Model-specific harness that reduces splices and speeds installation.
- Distribution hardware featuring fused points for clean accessory feeds.
- A reinforced bracket that secures the assembly against vibration and impacts.
- Clear documentation to route the harness and terminate distribution points correctly.
Item | Function | Benefit |
---|---|---|
Secondary AGM cell | Adds capacity | Starter remains ready during accessory use |
80A isolator relay | Controls charge/isolation | Stops accessory drain on starter |
Model harness | Wiring link | Simplifies install and service access |
Distribution block & hardware | Clean accessory feeds | Tidy fused circuits for lights/audio |
Parts are off-road ready and sealed as needed for dust/moisture resistance. It integrates with existing charging/accessory circuits for organized, reliable routing.
Easy, Straightforward Install
A straightforward install keeps your rig trail-ready without hours in the garage.
Prep a clear workspace and lay out the labeled parts. Mount the bracket, place the second cell, and route the harness to labeled terminals.
Simple behavior: Key ON/OFF
With the key ON, the 80A isolator links sources; key OFF keeps the starter isolated. This isolator design allows isolate new accessory loads so your starter stays reserved after long stops.
Solid bracket placement with tidy harness routing
Follow factory paths, use clips, and add abrasion sleeves at pinch points. Use the supplied hardware to make clean grounds and fused distribution points instead of daisy-chaining accessory feeds.
Step | Action | Why it matters |
---|---|---|
Mount bracket | Bolt into reinforced points | Handles vibration and maintains clamp load |
Place 2nd cell | Seat and fasten with clamp | Keeps terminals safe and serviceable |
Connect harness | Follow labeled leads and fuse points | Simplifies future upgrades and diagnostics |
Most DIYers can complete the install with basic tools. Amp-rated isolator plus proper cabling stabilize power and protect the starter on long rides.
Charging, Performance, and Long-Term Maintenance
Robust, steady power sustains aftermarket electronics under load. Proper charging and routine care make that reliability repeatable season after season.
Expect steadier voltage with better performance for amps, winches, and high-output lights. The auxiliary AGM trims voltage dips on spikes, keeping sound clean and lights bright.
Use a charger/maintainer to prevent sulfation
Regular top-offs with a quality maintainer help prevent sulfation—the main cause of capacity loss in AGM designs. UTV Stereo recommends topping between trips to preserve capacity and extend life.
- The system preserves stock battery health by isolating starting power when the key is off.
- When running, the alternator replenishes reserves for efficient recovery on long rides.
- Sealed, vibration-resistant AGM design curbs damage over rough terrain.
Aspect | Benefit | Action |
---|---|---|
Performance | Steadier voltage under load | Use a new secondary agm to support high-draw accessories |
Charging | Less capacity loss over time | Use a quality charger/maintainer between rides |
Long-term care | Extended service life | Pair sealed cells with routine maintenance charging |
Pro tip: Keep a suitable maintainer handy to stay topped up. This reduces surprises and preserves morning starts trip after trip.
