Quick fact: an extra 18 amp hours on a UTV can transform long-ride lighting and audio use. This added capacity powers accessories longer and keeps the starter 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. Its heavy-duty mount resists vibration/impacts for real off-road use.
Comes as a sealed AGM, shipped fully charged with hardware sized for your specific vehicle. The Can Am defender cover kit runs maintenance-free day to day, and a quality maintainer is advised to limit sulfation and extend service life.
Shop online for clear fitment and fast delivery so a customer can move from order to install with minimal downtime. This smart upgrade preserves stock starting capacity while adding usable amp-hours for winches, lighting, and stereo power on every trail.
Top Reasons to Run a Can-Am Dual Battery Kit on Your Next Trip
If you run lights and audio late, a second power source keeps the starter prepared. An 80A isolator ties both batteries Key ON and isolates the starter Key OFF so accessories pull from the aux cell, not the stock one.
Power accessories while protecting your stock battery
Drive light bars, audio, GPS, and heaters without draining the starter. The accessory supply supplies steady voltage for sensitive electronics, reducing dimming and voltage dips when loads spike.
Confident starts with stock battery starting preserved
An isolator-managed system preserves the stock battery so cranking stays strong after long accessory use.
- Extra reserve: A second battery gives extra amp hours for high-draw gear at camp or on long rides.
- Reduced strain: Accessory offload eases stress on starter circuits and components.
- Smart energy management: Automatic behavior via key position; no manual switch needed.
Can-Am Dual Battery Kit: Features & Benefits
Practical advantages for real trails and day-to-day reliability. It combines automatic management, rugged mounting, and sealed cells so electronics run without risking the starter.
An 80A isolator ties sources Key ON and isolates the starter cell Key OFF. That automation stops accessories from draining the starter.

What’s Included in the Kit
A clear parts list explains what’s included and how each piece protects the starter while feeding accessories.
Pick a full package including the auxiliary AGM, or choose bracket-only 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 to limit splices and speed installs.
- 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 | Fused accessory feeds | Tidy fused circuits for lights/audio |
All parts suit off-road duty, with sealing where needed against dust/moisture. Integration with existing charge/accessory circuits keeps routing tidy and reliable.
Easy, Straightforward Install
A straightforward install keeps your rig trail-ready without hours in the garage.
Begin with a clean workspace and lay out labeled parts. Mount the bracket, place the second cell, and route the harness to labeled terminals.
Key Position Behavior Made Simple
With the key ON, the 80A isolator links sources; key OFF keeps the starter isolated. This design ensures accessories pull from the auxiliary so the starter remains reserved after long stops.
Solid bracket placement with tidy harness routing
Follow factory paths, use clips, and add abrasion sleeves at pinch points. Use supplied hardware for clean grounds and fused distribution rather than daisy-chaining.
| Stage | Action | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Mount bracket | Secure to reinforced points | Handles vibration and maintains clamp load |
| Place 2nd cell | Seat battery and clamp firmly | Keeps terminals safe and serviceable |
| Connect harness | Connect labeled leads/fuse points | Makes upgrades and diagnostics easier |
Most mechanically inclined owners finish this installation with basic tools. Amp-rated isolator plus proper cabling stabilize power and protect the starter on long rides.
Performance, Charging & Long-Term Care
Strong, steady power keeps your aftermarket electronics UTV setup performing under heavy load. With proper charging and routine care, reliability repeats season after season.
Expect steadier voltage with better performance for amps, winches, and high-output lights. A dedicated auxiliary AGM reduces spike-related dips, keeping audio clean and lights bright.
Prevent sulfation with a charger/maintainer
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.
- Running engine alternator replenishes reserves for efficient recharge on long rides.
- Sealed, vibration-resistant AGM design curbs damage over rough terrain.
| Area | Benefit | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Performance | Stable voltage under load | Use a new secondary agm to support high-draw accessories |
| Charging | Lower long-term capacity loss | Employ a quality charger/maintainer between outings |
| Long-term care | Longer service life | Do routine maintenance charging on sealed cells |
Tip: Keep a compatible maintainer on hand so your batteries stay topped off. It cuts surprises and preserves next-morning starts on every trip.
