Buy 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.
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. A heavy-duty mount resists vibration and impacts for true off-road service.
Comes as a sealed AGM, shipped fully charged and hardware sized to match your vehicle. The Honda talon speakers setup needs no daily maintenance, but using a charger/maintainer helps prevent sulfation and lengthen life.
Order online for clear fitment data and quick delivery, reducing time from purchase to install. You keep stock starting capacity and gain usable amp-hours for winch, lights, and audio everywhere you ride.
Why Choose a Can-Am Dual Battery Kit for Your Next Adventure
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.
Use accessories freely and preserve your stock battery
Power more accessories like light bars, sound systems, GPS, and in-cab heaters without depleting your starting source. 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.
- Reserve capacity: 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: No manual switches—key position controls behavior automatically.
Can-Am Dual Battery Kit: Features & Benefits
This section highlights the practical advantages of the upgrade for trail use and everyday reliability. Automatic control plus a rugged mount and sealed cells keep electronics powered while protecting 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. 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. It resists loosening/fatigue so your install stays neat and serviceable.

In the Box: What You Get
A solid parts list shows exactly what arrives with your purchase and how each piece protects starting power while feeding accessories.
Opt for a complete package with the secondary AGM or go bracket-only when you already have a compatible cell. Both options protect starting power and add capacity for lights/audio/recovery.
Core components
- Battery isolator relay (80A) for charge management between sources.
- Harness, model-specific, to simplify wiring and speed install.
- Power distribution hardware featuring fused points for clean accessory feeds.
- Reinforced bracket to secure components against vibration/impacts.
- Clear documentation for routing/termination of harness and distribution.
| Component | Function | Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Secondary AGM cell | Provides extra amp hours | Keeps starter ready while running accessories |
| 80A isolator relay | Controls charge/isolation | Stops accessory drain on starter |
| Model harness | Wiring link | Easier installs 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. It integrates with existing charging/accessory circuits for organized, reliable routing.
Easy, Straightforward Install
Install is straightforward so your rig stays trail-ready with minimal downtime.
Start with a clear workspace and the labeled parts laid out before you. Mount the reinforced bracket, set the 2nd cell in place, and follow the harness leads to each terminal.
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 bracket placement and clean 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 | What to do | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| 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 | Follow labeled leads and fuse points | Simplifies future upgrades and diagnostics |
Basic tools are enough for most mechanically inclined owners. Amp-rated isolator plus proper cabling stabilize power and protect the starter on long rides.
Charging, Performance, and Long-Term Maintenance
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. The auxiliary AGM trims voltage dips on spikes, keeping sound clean and lights bright.
Prevent sulfation with a charger/maintainer
Regular charging with a quality maintainer prevents sulfation, which is the leading cause of capacity loss in agm battery designs. 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.
- Sealed, vibration-resistant AGM design curbs damage over rough terrain.
| Area | Gain | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| 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 | Extended service life | Do routine maintenance charging on sealed cells |
Tip: Keep a suitable maintainer handy to stay topped up. It cuts surprises and preserves next-morning starts on every trip.
