Good to know: 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.
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 quad ATV accessories setup needs no daily maintenance, and a quality maintainer is advised to limit sulfation and extend service life.
Shop online to confirm fitment and get fast shipping, minimizing downtime from order 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
If you run lights and audio late, a second power source keeps the starter prepared. 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.
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. You get steadier voltage to sensitive electronics, reducing dim and drop during load spikes.
Confident cranks with stock starting kept intact
An isolator-managed system preserves the stock battery so cranking stays strong after long accessory use.
- Extra reserve: The auxiliary cell adds amp-hour reserve for high-draw gear on trail or at camp.
- Less wear: Accessory offload eases stress on starter circuits and components.
- Automatic management: Automatic behavior via key position; no manual switch needed.
Can-Am Dual Battery Kit: Features & Benefits
Here’s what the upgrade delivers for trails and daily reliability. Automatic control plus a rugged mount and sealed cells keep electronics powered while protecting the starter.
With an 80 amp isolator, sources link Key ON and the starter is isolated Key OFF. That automation stops accessories from draining the starter.
Rugged mounting bracket for vibration and hits
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, maintenance-free, long-lasting
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.
Model Fitment and Options for Can-Am Owners
Choose the right fit for your UTV with model-specific packages that match factory mounting points and wiring paths.
Maverick X3 owners can choose a full second-battery kit with all wiring/hardware for turnkey install. 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
Go complete for quick setup, or bracket-only to reuse an existing cell. Both choices target a factory look and secure fit.
Defender: model-fit second battery kit for stock bay
The Defender kit is built to fit the stock space and preserve service access. Factory clearances remain intact while adding reliable auxiliary capacity.
Already have an AGM? Choose bracket-only or wiring-only kits
Save by using a wire-and-mount package if you already have a battery. You get clean routing and solid mounting without buying extras.
Alternatives: DS18 wire/bracket-only and AKJ Offroad solutions
- Explore AKJ Offroad for another full package option.
- DS18 lists bracket/wire-only packages with free U.S. shipping advertised.
- 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 guidance cuts wrong orders and gets you the right parts first try.
What’s Included in the Kit
A clear parts list explains what’s included and how each piece protects the starter while feeding accessories.
Opt for a complete package with the secondary AGM or go bracket-only if you’ve already got a compatible battery. Both paths keep the starter reserved and give you usable extra capacity for lights, audio, and recovery gear.
Primary components
- An 80 amp battery isolator relay module to manage charge flow between sources.
- Harness, model-specific, to simplify wiring and speed install.
- Distribution hardware with fused taps to keep accessory feeds tidy.
- A reinforced bracket that secures the assembly against vibration and impacts.
- Clear documentation to route the harness and terminate distribution points correctly.
| Item | Role | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Secondary AGM cell | Provides extra amp hours | Starter remains ready during accessory use |
| 80A isolator relay | Controls charge/isolation | Stops accessory drain on starter |
| Model harness | Wiring link | Easier installs and service access |
| Distribution block & hardware | Fused accessory feeds | Neat fused circuits for lights and audio |
Parts are off-road ready and sealed as needed for dust/moisture resistance. Integration with existing charge/accessory circuits keeps routing tidy and reliable.
Easy, Straightforward Install
Install is straightforward so your rig stays trail-ready with minimal downtime.
Prep a clear workspace and lay out the labeled parts. Mount the bracket, place the second cell, and route the harness to labeled terminals.
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.
Solid bracket placement with tidy harness routing
Use factory routing, secure with clips, and sleeve abrasion points. Use supplied hardware for clean grounds and fused distribution rather than daisy-chaining.
| Step | What to do | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Mount bracket | Secure to reinforced points | Maintains clamp load under vibration |
| 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 |
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. 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. The auxiliary AGM trims voltage dips on spikes, keeping sound clean and lights bright.
Charger/Maintainer: your sulfation prevention
Use a good maintainer to prevent sulfation, the primary cause of capacity loss in AGM batteries. UTV Stereo recommends topping cells between trips to preserve capacity and extend lifespan.
- Key OFF isolation preserves stock battery health.
- Running engine alternator replenishes reserves for efficient recharge on long rides.
- Sealed, vibration-resistant AGM design curbs damage over rough terrain.
| Area | Benefit | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Performance | Steadier voltage under load | Add a secondary AGM to support high-draw gear |
| Charging | Lower long-term capacity loss | Use a quality charger/maintainer between rides |
| Long-term care | Longer service life | Pair sealed cells with routine maintenance charging |
Tip: Keep a suitable maintainer handy to stay topped up. That reduces surprises and helps preserve next-morning starts on every trip.
