Buy Can Am Dual Battery Kit On the Web Today
Good to know: adding 18 amp hours to your UTV changes how you use lights and audio on long rides. This added capacity powers accessories longer and keeps the starter 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.
Expect a fresh, sealed AGM that ships fully charged and hardware sized to match your vehicle. The Honda snorkel system is maintenance-free in daily use, 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. This smart upgrade preserves stock starting capacity while adding usable amp-hours for winches, lighting, and stereo power on every trail.
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. The 80 amp isolator links both sources with Key ON and isolates the starting unit with Key OFF so accessory loads draw from the secondary cell instead of the factory one.
Run accessories without draining your stock battery
Run light bars, audio, GPS, and cabin heat while keeping the starter untouched. You get steadier voltage to sensitive electronics, reducing dim and drop during load spikes.
Confident starts thanks to preserved stock starting power
An isolator-managed system preserves the stock battery so cranking stays strong after long accessory use.
- Reserve capacity: Gain additional amp-hours for big-draw accessories during long rides.
- Reduced strain: Offloading accessories reduces stress on the starting circuit and components.
- Smart energy management: No manual switches—key position controls behavior automatically.

- Distribution hardware with fused taps to keep accessory feeds tidy.
- A reinforced bracket that secures the assembly against vibration and impacts.
- Clear documentation for routing/termination of harness and distribution.
| Item | Role | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Secondary AGM cell | Adds capacity | Starter remains ready during accessory use |
| 80A isolator relay | Controls charge/isolation | Prevents accessory draw from draining starter |
| Model harness | Connects components | Simplifies install 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
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. Mount the bracket, place the second cell, and route the harness to labeled terminals.
Simple Key ON/Key OFF behavior
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.
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.
| Stage | What to do | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Mount bracket | Bolt into reinforced points | Maintains clamp load under vibration |
| Place 2nd cell | Seat battery and clamp firmly | Keeps terminals safe and serviceable |
| Connect harness | Follow labeled leads and fuse points | Simplifies future upgrades and diagnostics |
Most DIYers can complete the install with basic tools. 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. Proper charging and routine care make that reliability repeatable season after 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.
Use a charger/maintainer to prevent sulfation
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.
- Stock battery health is preserved by isolating starter power Key OFF.
- While running, the alternator replenishes reserves so long rides restore charge efficiently.
- Sealed, vibration-resistant agm battery construction reduces damage from rough terrain.
| Aspect | 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 | Do routine maintenance charging on sealed cells |
Tip: Have a compatible maintainer ready to keep batteries topped. This reduces surprises and preserves morning starts trip after trip.
