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.
Run accessories without draining your stock battery
Run light bars, audio, GPS, and cabin heat while keeping the starter untouched. Accessory power remains steady for sensitive gear, cutting dimming and dips during 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.
- Reduced strain: Accessory offload eases stress on starter circuits and components.
- Automatic management: No manual switches—key position controls behavior automatically.
Key Features & Benefits of the Can-Am Dual Battery Kit
This section highlights the practical advantages of the upgrade for trail use and everyday reliability. The design pairs automatic energy management with a rugged mount and sealed cells to keep electronics running without risking 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
Reinforced brackets keep components anchored over washboard and landings. It resists loosening/fatigue so your install stays neat and serviceable.

What’s Included in the Kit
Here’s what you receive and how it protects the starter yet feeds accessories.
Pick a full package including the auxiliary AGM, or choose bracket-only if you already own a compatible cell. Both options protect starting power and add capacity for lights/audio/recovery.
Primary components
- 80 amp battery isolator relay to manage charging/isolation.
- Harness, model-specific, to simplify wiring and speed install.
- Distribution hardware featuring fused points for clean accessory feeds.
- Bracket, reinforced, to resist shock and vibration.
- Clear documentation to route the harness and terminate distribution points correctly.
| Component | Role | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| 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 | Clean accessory feeds | Tidy fused circuits for lights/audio |
Parts are off-road ready and sealed as needed for dust/moisture resistance. It integrates with existing charging/accessory circuits for organized, reliable routing.
Installation Made Straightforward
Simple installation keeps you trail-ready without losing hours in the garage.
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. This isolator design allows isolate new accessory loads so your starter stays reserved after long stops.
Solid bracket placement with tidy 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 | 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 | Connect labeled leads/fuse points | Makes upgrades and diagnostics easier |
Basic tools are enough for most mechanically inclined owners. Amp-rated isolator plus proper cabling stabilize power and protect the starter on long rides.
Performance, Charging, and Long-Term Maintenance
Robust, steady power sustains aftermarket electronics under load. With proper charging and routine care, reliability repeats season after season.
Expect steadier voltage with better performance for 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 cells between trips to preserve capacity and extend lifespan.
- Key OFF isolation preserves stock battery health.
- When running, the alternator replenishes reserves for efficient recovery on long rides.
- Vibration-resistant sealed AGM construction reduces rough-terrain damage.
| Aspect | Benefit | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Performance | Steadier voltage under load | Add a secondary AGM to support high-draw gear |
| Charging | Less capacity loss over time | Employ a quality charger/maintainer between outings |
| Long-term care | Longer service life | Do routine maintenance charging on sealed cells |
Tip: Have a compatible maintainer ready to keep batteries topped. It cuts surprises and preserves next-morning starts on every trip.
