Order Can Am Dual Battery Kit Online Today
Surprising fact: adding 18 amp hours to your UTV changes how you use lights and audio on long rides. More capacity means longer accessory runtime while safeguarding the starter.
A purpose-built 80A isolator links both batteries Key ON and isolates the starter Key OFF so accessories pull from the second battery. The rugged mount fights vibration and shock for authentic off-road duty.
Expect a fresh, sealed AGM that ships fully charged plus vehicle-matched hardware. The Can Am outlander 850 lift kit setup needs no daily maintenance, and a quality maintainer is advised to limit sulfation and extend service 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
If you run lights and audio late, a second power source keeps the starter prepared. 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
Drive light bars, audio, GPS, and heaters without draining the starter. The accessory supply supplies steady voltage for sensitive electronics, reducing dimming and voltage dips when loads spike.
Confident cranks with stock starting kept intact
Because the isolator protects the stock cell, your engine still cranks strong after a full night of electronics.
- 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.
Key Features & Benefits of the Can-Am Dual Battery Kit
Here’s what the upgrade delivers for trails and daily reliability. It combines automatic management, rugged mounting, and sealed cells so electronics run without risking the starter.
An 80A isolator ties sources Key ON and isolates the starter cell Key OFF. This automation prevents accessory draw from draining your starting source.
Rugged mounting bracket for vibration and hits
A reinforced bracket anchors components through washboard trails and hard landings. It resists loosening and fatigue so the install stays tidy and serviceable.
UTV Stereo Platinum AGM: sealed, low-maintenance, long-life
The UTV Stereo Platinum Series AGM arrives fresh and fully charged. Sealed AGM means spill resistance, vibration toughness, and no routine maintenance.
Adds extra amp hours vs stock for lights, audio, and accessories
- Gain about 18 amp hours versus stock for longer runtime with lights and audio.
- Cleaner under-load voltage preserves sound quality 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 can opt for a full second-battery kit with wiring/hardware for a quick upgrade. Already own an AGM? UTV Stereo’s mount-only option gives a clean bracket for a tidy install.
Maverick X3 Options: complete kit or bracket-only
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: tailored 2nd battery kit that fits the stock compartment
The Defender kit is built to fit the stock space and preserve service access. Factory clearances remain intact while adding reliable auxiliary capacity.
Bracket-only and wiring kits for owners with an AGM
Save by using a wire-and-mount package if you already have a battery. It delivers pro routing and solid mounting without unnecessary parts.
Alternative Packages: DS18 bracket/wire-only and AKJ Offroad full kits
- 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.
Pick what fits your build—complete kit for convenience or modular parts to reuse gear. Clear fitment guidance cuts wrong orders and gets you the right parts first try.
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. Either way preserves the starter and adds usable capacity for lights, audio, and recovery tools.
Core components
- 80 amp battery isolator relay to manage charging/isolation.
- Model-specific harness that reduces splices and speeds installation.
- Distribution hardware with fused taps to keep accessory feeds tidy.
- Reinforced bracket to secure components against vibration/impacts.
- Documentation that guides harness routing and proper distribution termination.
| Component | Role | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Secondary AGM cell | Adds capacity | Starter remains ready during accessory use |
| 80A isolator relay | Manages charge and isolation | Stops accessory drain on starter |
| Model harness | Connects components | Simplifies install and service access |
| Distribution block & hardware | Clean accessory feeds | Tidy fused circuits for lights/audio |
All parts suit off-road duty, with sealing where needed against dust/moisture. The complete package integrates with existing charge and accessory circuits so routing stays organized and reliable.
Straightforward Installation
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 Key ON/Key OFF behavior
Key ON links sources via 80A isolator; key OFF isolates the starter. The design routes accessory load to the aux battery, preserving the starter after extended stops.
Solid bracket placement with tidy harness routing
Route the harness along factory paths, secure it with clips, and add abrasion protection at pinch points. Use the supplied hardware to make clean grounds and fused distribution points instead of daisy-chaining accessory feeds.
| Stage | Action | 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 | Follow labeled leads and fuse points | Makes upgrades and diagnostics easier |
Most mechanically inclined owners finish this installation with basic tools. The amp-rated isolator and proper cables keep power delivery steady and protect starting batteries during long rides.
Performance, Charging & Long-Term Care
Robust, steady power sustains aftermarket electronics under load. 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. A dedicated auxiliary AGM reduces spike-related dips, keeping audio clean and lights bright.
Prevent sulfation with a charger/maintainer
Use a good maintainer to prevent sulfation, the primary cause of capacity loss in AGM batteries. 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.
- Running engine alternator replenishes reserves for efficient recharge on long rides.
- Sealed, vibration-resistant agm battery construction reduces damage from rough terrain.
| Area | Gain | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Performance | Stable voltage under load | Use a new secondary agm to support high-draw accessories |
| Charging | Less capacity loss over time | Use a quality charger/maintainer between rides |
| Long-term care | Extended service life | Do routine maintenance charging on sealed cells |
Pro tip: Have a compatible maintainer ready to keep batteries topped. This reduces surprises and preserves morning starts trip after trip.
