ATV Body Accessories That Define Off-Road Style
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. More capacity means longer accessory runtime while safeguarding the starter.
Engineered with an 80 amp isolator, it combines sources when the key is on and protects the starter when the key is off, feeding accessories from the auxiliary cell. Its heavy-duty mount resists vibration/impacts for real off-road use.
Arrives fresh, sealed AGM and fully charged and hardware sized to match your vehicle. The Can Am defender max cover setup needs no daily maintenance, but using a charger/maintainer helps prevent sulfation and lengthen life.
Shop online to confirm fitment and get fast shipping, minimizing downtime from order 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
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.
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
Because the isolator protects the stock cell, your engine still cranks strong after a full night of electronics.
- Extra reserve: Gain additional amp-hours for big-draw accessories during long rides.
- Reduced strain: Moving accessory load off the starter lowers wear on circuits/components.
- Automatic management: No manual switching required—system behavior is automatic based on key position.
Can-Am Dual Battery Kit: Features & Benefits
This section highlights the practical advantages of the upgrade for trail use and everyday 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.
Rugged mounting bracket for vibration and hits
A reinforced bracket anchors components through washboard trails and hard landings. Resistance to loosening and fatigue keeps installs tidy and easy to service.
UTV Stereo Platinum AGM: sealed, low-maintenance, long-life
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.
- Steadier loaded voltage preserves audio clarity and lamp brightness at idle.
- Factory-friendly integration keeps installs neat and durable.
Fitment & Options for Can-Am Models

What’s Included in the Kit
Here’s what you receive and how it protects the starter yet feeds accessories.
Opt for a complete package with the secondary AGM or go bracket-only if you already own a compatible cell. Both options protect starting power and add capacity for lights/audio/recovery.
Primary components
- Battery isolator relay (80A) for charge management between sources.
- Model-specific harness that reduces splices and speeds installation.
- Distribution hardware featuring fused points for clean accessory feeds.
- A reinforced bracket that secures the assembly against vibration and impacts.
- Clear documentation for routing/termination of harness and distribution.
Component | Function | Benefit |
---|---|---|
Secondary AGM cell | Provides extra amp hours | Starter remains ready during accessory use |
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 | Neat fused circuits for lights and audio |
All parts suit off-road duty, with sealing where needed against dust/moisture. It integrates with existing charging/accessory circuits for organized, reliable routing.
Easy, Straightforward Install
Simple installation keeps you trail-ready without losing 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.
Simple behavior: Key ON/OFF
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. Use supplied hardware for clean grounds and fused distribution rather than daisy-chaining.
Step | Action | Reason |
---|---|---|
Mount bracket | Secure to reinforced points | Handles vibration and maintains clamp load |
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
Strong, steady power keeps your aftermarket electronics UTV setup performing under heavy load. Routine care and proper charging make performance repeatable each season.
Expect steadier voltage with better performance for amps, winches, and high-output 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 charging with a quality maintainer prevents sulfation, which is the leading cause of capacity loss in agm battery designs. UTV Stereo advises between-trip top-offs to preserve capacity and extend life.
- The system preserves stock battery health by isolating starting power when the key is off.
- Running engine alternator replenishes reserves for efficient recharge on long rides.
- Sealed, vibration-resistant agm battery construction reduces damage from rough terrain.
Aspect | Gain | Action |
---|---|---|
Performance | Steadier voltage under load | Use a new secondary agm to support high-draw accessories |
Charging | Less capacity loss over time | Employ a quality charger/maintainer between outings |
Long-term care | Extended service life | Do routine maintenance charging on sealed cells |
Pro tip: Keep a compatible maintainer on hand so your batteries stay topped off. It cuts surprises and preserves next-morning starts on every trip.
