Surprising fact: an extra 18 amp hours on a UTV can transform long-ride lighting and audio use. 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. Its heavy-duty mount resists vibration/impacts for real off-road use.
Expect a fresh, sealed AGM that ships fully charged with hardware sized for your specific vehicle. The windshield for UTV system is maintenance-free in daily use, though a charger or maintainer is recommended to prevent sulfation and extend life.
Shop online for clear fitment and fast delivery so a customer can move from order to install with minimal downtime. It preserves stock starting power yet adds usable amp-hours for winches, lights, and stereo on any trail.
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.
Power accessories while protecting 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 cranks with stock starting kept intact
Because the isolator protects the stock cell, your engine still cranks strong after a full night of electronics.
- Extra reserve: The auxiliary cell adds amp-hour reserve for high-draw gear on trail or at camp.
- Reduced strain: Accessory offload eases stress on starter circuits and components.
- Automatic management: No manual switching required—system behavior is automatic based on key position.
Can Am dual battery kit Features and Benefits
This section highlights the practical advantages of the upgrade for trail use and everyday 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. This automation prevents accessory draw from draining your starting source.
Rugged mounting bracket for vibration and hits
Reinforced brackets keep components anchored over washboard and landings. It resists loosening and fatigue so the install stays tidy and serviceable.

| Component | Function | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Secondary AGM cell | Adds capacity | Keeps starter ready while running accessories |
| 80A isolator relay | Controls charge/isolation | Prevents accessory draw from draining starter |
| Model harness | Connects components | Easier installs and service access |
| Distribution block & hardware | Fused accessory feeds | Neat fused circuits for lights and audio |
All parts are selected for off-road use and sealed where needed to resist dust and moisture. The complete package integrates with existing charge and accessory circuits so routing stays organized 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. Install the bracket, seat the second battery, then connect the labeled harness leads.
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.
Secure mounting + clean harness routing
Follow factory paths, use clips, and add abrasion sleeves at pinch points. Supplied hardware enables clean grounds and fused feeds—avoid daisy-chains.
| Stage | What to do | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 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 | Makes upgrades and diagnostics easier |
Most DIYers can complete the install with basic tools. Properly rated isolator and cables stabilize delivery and protect the starter on extended rides.
Performance, Charging, and Long-Term Maintenance
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 and improved performance for audio 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
Use a good maintainer to prevent sulfation, the primary cause of capacity loss in AGM batteries. UTV Stereo recommends topping between trips to preserve capacity and extend life.
- Key OFF isolation preserves stock battery health.
- While running, the alternator replenishes reserves so long rides restore charge efficiently.
- Vibration-resistant sealed AGM construction reduces rough-terrain damage.
| Aspect | Gain | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Performance | Stable voltage under load | Add a secondary AGM to support high-draw gear |
| 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: Have a compatible maintainer ready to keep batteries topped. This reduces surprises and preserves morning starts trip after trip.
