Surprising fact: 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.
This purpose-built upgrade uses an 80 amp isolator so, with the key on, both sources share power, and with the key off, the starting unit is safe while accessories draw from the second battery. The rugged mount fights vibration and shock for authentic off-road duty.
Comes as a sealed AGM, shipped fully charged plus vehicle-matched hardware. The cool 4 wheeler accessories setup needs no daily maintenance, but using a charger/maintainer helps prevent sulfation and lengthen life.
Shop online for clear fitment and fast delivery so a customer can move from order to install with minimal downtime. You keep stock starting capacity and gain usable amp-hours for winch, lights, and audio everywhere you ride.
Top Reasons to Run a Can-Am Dual Battery Kit on Your Next Trip
When your rig needs long nights of lights and music, a dedicated secondary power source keeps the starter ready for the moment that matters. With an 80A isolator, Key ON combines sources; Key OFF isolates the starter so accessories draw from the auxiliary battery.
Use accessories freely and preserve your stock battery
Run light bars, audio, GPS, and cabin heat while keeping the starter untouched. You get steadier voltage to sensitive electronics, reducing dim and drop during load spikes.
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.
- Less wear: Moving accessory load off the starter lowers wear on circuits/components.
- Automatic management: No manual switches—key position controls behavior automatically.
Key Features & Benefits of the Can-Am Dual Battery Kit
This section highlights the practical advantages of the upgrade for trail use and everyday 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. Automation prevents accessory drain on the starting battery.

| Component | Function | Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Secondary AGM cell | Provides extra amp hours | Starter remains ready during accessory use |
| 80A isolator relay | Manages charge and isolation | Stops accessory drain on starter |
| Model harness | Wiring link | Easier installs and service access |
| Distribution block & hardware | Fused 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.
Straightforward Installation
Simple installation keeps you trail-ready without losing hours in the garage.
Start with a clear workspace and the labeled parts laid out before you. Install the bracket, seat the second battery, then connect the labeled harness leads.
Key Position Behavior Made Simple
Key ON links sources via 80A isolator; key OFF isolates the starter. The design routes accessory load to the aux battery, preserving the starter after extended stops.
Solid bracket placement with tidy harness routing
Route the harness along factory paths, secure it with clips, and add abrasion protection at pinch points. Supplied hardware enables clean grounds and fused feeds—avoid daisy-chains.
| Step | Action | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Mount bracket | Secure to reinforced points | Handles vibration and maintains clamp load |
| Place 2nd cell | Seat battery and clamp firmly | Protects terminals and service access |
| Connect harness | Connect labeled leads/fuse points | Makes upgrades and diagnostics easier |
Basic tools are enough for most mechanically inclined owners. The amp-rated isolator and proper cables keep power delivery steady and protect starting batteries during long rides.
Performance, Charging & Long-Term Care
Robust, steady power sustains aftermarket electronics under load. Routine care and proper charging make performance repeatable each season.
Look for steadier voltage and better results with amps, winches, and powerful lights. The auxiliary AGM trims voltage dips on spikes, keeping sound clean and lights bright.
Charger/Maintainer: your sulfation prevention
Regular top-offs with a quality maintainer help prevent sulfation—the main cause of capacity loss in AGM designs. UTV Stereo recommends topping cells between trips to preserve capacity and extend lifespan.
- 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.
| Aspect | Gain | 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 | Pair sealed cells with routine maintenance charging |
Pro tip: Keep a compatible maintainer on hand so your batteries stay topped off. This reduces surprises and preserves morning starts trip after trip.
