Order Can Am Dual Battery Kit Online Today
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.
A purpose-built 80A isolator links both batteries Key ON and isolates the starter Key OFF so accessories pull from the second battery. Its heavy-duty mount resists vibration/impacts for real off-road use.
Comes as a sealed AGM, shipped fully charged and hardware sized to match your vehicle. The customized lifted 4 wheeler setup needs no daily maintenance, though a charger or maintainer is recommended to prevent sulfation and extend life.
Order online for clear fitment data and quick delivery, reducing time from purchase to install. 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
For long nights of lights and music, a dedicated auxiliary source keeps the starter ready when you need it. 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
Power more accessories like light bars, sound systems, GPS, and in-cab heaters without depleting your starting source. Accessory power remains steady for sensitive gear, cutting dimming and dips during 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.
- Reserve capacity: Gain additional amp-hours for big-draw accessories during long rides.
- Reduced strain: Accessory offload eases stress on starter circuits and components.
- Automatic management: No manual switches—key position controls behavior automatically.
Key Features & Benefits of the Can-Am Dual Battery Kit
Here’s what the upgrade delivers for trails and daily reliability. The design pairs automatic energy management with a rugged mount and sealed cells to keep electronics running without risking the starter.
With an 80 amp isolator, sources link Key ON and the starter is isolated Key OFF. This automation prevents accessory draw from draining your starting source.
Heavy-duty mounting bracket built for vibration and impacts
Reinforced brackets keep components anchored over washboard and landings. Resistance to loosening and fatigue keeps installs tidy and easy to service.
UTV Stereo Platinum Series AGM: sealed design, maintenance-free, durable
Platinum Series AGM comes fresh and pre-charged. Sealed AGM construction resists spill/vibration and needs no routine maintenance.
More amp-hours than stock for lights/audio/accessories
- About +18 amp-hours vs stock for longer light/audio runtime.
- Cleaner under-load voltage preserves sound quality and lamp brightness at idle.
- Complete kit integrates with factory wiring for a neat, durable install.
Fitment & Options for Can-Am Models
Pick model-specific packages that match factory mounts and wiring paths.
Can-Am Maverick X3 owners can opt for a full second-battery kit with wiring/hardware for a quick upgrade. If you’ve got an AGM already, the mount-only bracket from UTV Stereo makes for a tidy install.
Maverick X3 Options: complete kit or bracket-only
Go complete for quick setup, or bracket-only to reuse an existing cell. Both approaches aim for a factory look and secure fit.
Defender Fit: second-battery kit sized for the stock compartment
The Defender kit is built to fit the stock space and preserve service access. That keeps factory clearances intact while adding reliable second battery capacity.
Bracket-only and wiring kits for owners with an AGM
Cut costs with mount + wiring when you own a spare AGM. It delivers pro routing and solid mounting without unnecessary parts.
Alternatives: DS18 wire/bracket-only and AKJ Offroad solutions
- AKJ Offroad offers another full kit option.
- DS18 offers a wire/bracket-only package and advertises free shipping on U.S. orders.
- Engineered to model geometry for factory-style, trail-secure installs.
Choose the path that matches your build: full kit for convenience, or modular parts to integrate gear you already own. Fitment notes minimize mistakes and help you order correctly the first time.
In the Box: What You Get
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 already own a compatible cell. Either way preserves the starter and adds usable capacity for lights, audio, and recovery tools.
Core components
- An 80 amp battery isolator relay module to manage charge flow between sources.
- Harness, model-specific, to simplify wiring and speed install.
- Power distribution hardware featuring fused points for clean accessory feeds.
- Bracket, reinforced, to resist shock and vibration.
- Clear documentation for routing/termination of harness and distribution.
Item | Function | Benefit |
---|---|---|
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 | Wiring link | Easier installs and service access |
Distribution block & hardware | Fused accessory feeds | Tidy fused circuits for lights/audio |
All parts are selected for off-road use and sealed where needed to resist dust and moisture. Integration with existing charge/accessory circuits keeps routing tidy and reliable.
Installation Made Straightforward
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
The 80 amp isolator links both sources when the key is on and lets the starting cell remain battery isolated when the key is off. This design ensures accessories pull from the auxiliary so the starter remains reserved after long stops.
Solid bracket placement with tidy harness routing
Use factory routing, secure with clips, and sleeve abrasion points. Supplied hardware enables clean grounds and fused feeds—avoid daisy-chains.
Stage | What to do | Why it matters |
---|---|---|
Mount bracket | Bolt into reinforced points | Maintains clamp load under vibration |
Place 2nd cell | Seat and fasten with clamp | Protects terminals and service access |
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
Steady power keeps aftermarket UTV electronics performing under heavy loads. Routine care and proper charging make performance repeatable each season.
Look for steadier voltage and better results with amps, winches, and powerful lights. A dedicated secondary agm reduces dips during spikes so sound stays clean and lamps stay 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.
- While running, the alternator replenishes reserves so long rides restore charge efficiently.
- Sealed, vibration-resistant AGM design curbs damage over rough terrain.
Area | 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 |
Tip: Keep a compatible maintainer on hand so your batteries stay topped off. It cuts surprises and preserves next-morning starts on every trip.
