Order Can Am Dual Battery Kit Online Today
Surprising fact: with 18 additional amp hours, long rides feel different for lights and sound. 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.
Comes as a sealed AGM, shipped fully charged plus vehicle-matched hardware. The cheap ATV wheels and tires 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
When your rig needs long nights of lights and music, a dedicated secondary power source keeps the starter ready for the moment that matters. 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.
Use accessories freely and preserve your stock battery
Run light bars, audio, GPS, and cabin heat while keeping the starter untouched. The accessory supply supplies steady voltage for sensitive electronics, reducing dimming and voltage dips when loads spike.
Confident cranks with stock starting kept intact
The isolator-driven system automatically prioritizes preserving stock battery so your machine cranks strong after a long night with electronics running.
- Reserve capacity: The auxiliary cell adds amp-hour reserve for high-draw gear on trail or at camp.
- Reduced strain: Moving accessory load off the starter lowers wear on circuits/components.
- Smart energy management: No manual switches—key position controls behavior automatically.
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.
With an 80 amp isolator, sources link Key ON and the starter is isolated Key OFF. Automation prevents accessory drain on the starting battery.
Heavy-duty mounting bracket built for vibration and impacts
The reinforced mount holds steady across washboard and big 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. As a sealed agm battery, it resists spills and vibration and needs no routine maintenance.
Adds extra amp hours vs stock for lights, audio, and accessories
- About +18 amp-hours vs stock for longer light/audio runtime.
- Steadier loaded voltage preserves audio clarity and lamp brightness at idle.
- Complete kit integrates with factory wiring for a neat, durable install.
Can-Am Owners: Model Fitment and Options
Choose the right fit for your UTV with model-specific packages that match factory mounting points and wiring paths.
Maverick X3 owners get a full 2nd battery kit that includes all wiring and hardware for a turnkey upgrade. If you already own an AGM, the mount-only option from UTV Stereo provides a neat bracket for a tidy install.
Maverick X3: complete 2nd battery kit and dual battery mount
Choose the full kit for speed or go bracket-only if you’re reusing a battery. Both approaches aim for a factory look and secure fit.
Defender: model-fit second battery kit for stock bay
Defender kits fit stock space and preserve access for service. That keeps factory clearances intact while adding reliable second battery capacity.
Bracket-only and wiring kits for owners with an AGM
Save money with a wire-and-mount package when you have a spare battery. You get clean routing and solid mounting without buying extras.
Other Options: DS18 bracket/wire packages and AKJ Offroad kits
- AKJ Offroad offers another full kit option.
- DS18 offers a wire/bracket-only package and advertises free shipping on U.S. orders.
- Each product is engineered around model geometry so the install looks factory and stays secure on rough trails.
Choose the path that matches your build: full kit for convenience, or modular parts to integrate gear you already own. Clear fitment notes reduce wrong orders and help each customer get the right parts 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.
Pick a full package including the auxiliary AGM, or choose bracket-only when you already have a compatible cell. Either way preserves the starter and adds usable capacity for lights, audio, and recovery tools.
Main components
- An 80 amp battery isolator relay module to manage charge flow between sources.
- Model-specific harness to limit splices and speed installs.
- Power distribution hardware featuring fused points for clean accessory feeds.
- Reinforced bracket to secure components against vibration/impacts.
- Documentation that guides harness routing and proper distribution termination.
Item | Role | Why it matters |
---|---|---|
Secondary AGM cell | Adds capacity | Keeps starter ready while running accessories |
80A isolator relay | Controls charge/isolation | Stops accessory drain on starter |
Model harness | Connects components | Simplifies install and service access |
Distribution block & hardware | Clean 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.
Installation Made Straightforward
A straightforward install keeps your rig trail-ready without 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.
Simple behavior: Key ON/OFF
With the key ON, the 80A isolator links sources; key OFF keeps the starter isolated. The design routes accessory load to the aux battery, preserving the starter after extended stops.
Secure mounting + clean 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.
Stage | What to do | Reason |
---|---|---|
Mount bracket | Secure to reinforced points | Handles vibration and maintains clamp load |
Place 2nd cell | Seat and fasten with clamp | Keeps terminals safe and serviceable |
Connect harness | Connect labeled leads/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 & Long-Term Care
Strong, steady power keeps your aftermarket electronics UTV setup performing under heavy 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 charging with a quality maintainer prevents sulfation, which is the leading cause of capacity loss in agm battery designs. UTV Stereo recommends topping cells between trips to preserve capacity and extend lifespan.
- Stock battery health is preserved by isolating starter power Key OFF.
- When running, the alternator replenishes reserves for efficient recovery on long rides.
- Sealed, vibration-resistant agm battery construction reduces damage from rough terrain.
Area | Benefit | What to do |
---|---|---|
Performance | Steadier voltage under load | Add a secondary AGM to support high-draw gear |
Charging | Less capacity loss over time | Employ a quality charger/maintainer between outings |
Long-term care | Longer service life | Pair sealed cells with routine maintenance charging |
Tip: Have a compatible maintainer ready to keep batteries topped. This reduces surprises and preserves morning starts trip after trip.
