Buy Can Am Dual Battery Kit Right Now Online
Quick fact: with 18 additional amp hours, long rides feel different for lights and sound. 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. Its heavy-duty mount resists vibration/impacts for real off-road use.
Arrives fresh, sealed AGM and fully charged with hardware sized for your specific vehicle. The UTV windshields kit runs maintenance-free day to day, and a quality maintainer is advised to limit sulfation and extend service life.
Shop online for clear fitment and fast delivery so a customer can move from order to install with minimal downtime. This smart upgrade preserves stock starting capacity while adding usable amp-hours for winches, lighting, and stereo power on every trail.
Why a Can-Am Dual Battery Kit Makes Sense for Your Next Ride
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 cranks with stock starting kept intact
An isolator-managed system preserves the stock battery so cranking stays strong after long accessory use.
- Reserve capacity: The auxiliary cell adds amp-hour reserve for high-draw gear on trail or at camp.
- Reduced strain: Offloading accessories reduces stress on the starting circuit and components.
- Smart energy management: No manual switching required—system behavior is automatic based on key position.
Can Am dual battery kit Features and 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. This automation prevents accessory draw from draining your starting source.
Heavy-duty mounting bracket built for vibration and impacts
Reinforced brackets keep components anchored over washboard and landings. Resistance to loosening and fatigue keeps installs tidy and easy to service.

- 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
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. If you’ve got an AGM already, the mount-only bracket from UTV Stereo makes for a tidy install.
Maverick X3 Options: complete kit or bracket-only
Go complete for quick setup, or bracket-only to reuse an existing cell. Both approaches aim for a factory look and secure fit.
Defender: model-fit second battery kit for stock bay
Built to fit the stock bay, the Defender kit preserves service access. You maintain factory clearances and gain dependable auxiliary capacity.
Bracket-only and wire kit options if you already own an AGM battery
Save by using a wire-and-mount package if you already have a battery. It delivers pro routing and solid mounting without unnecessary parts.
Alternatives: DS18 wire/bracket-only and AKJ Offroad solutions
- Check AKJ Offroad for a complete package alternative.
- DS18 has wire/bracket-only options and promotes free shipping in the U.S..
- All are engineered to model geometry for factory-look installs that hold up off-road.
Choose the path that matches your build: full kit for convenience, or modular parts to integrate gear you already own. Fitment notes minimize mistakes and help you order correctly the first time.
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 when you already have a compatible cell. Both paths keep the starter reserved and give you usable extra capacity for lights, audio, and recovery gear.
Core components
- Battery isolator relay (80A) for charge management between sources.
- Model-specific harness that reduces splices and speeds installation.
- Power distribution hardware featuring fused points for clean accessory feeds.
- A reinforced bracket that secures the assembly against vibration and impacts.
- Documentation that guides harness routing and proper distribution termination.
| Component | Role | Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Secondary AGM cell | Provides extra amp hours | 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 | Fused accessory feeds | Neat fused circuits for lights and audio |
All parts are selected for off-road use and sealed where needed to resist dust and moisture. The complete package integrates with existing charge and accessory circuits so routing stays organized and reliable.
Installation Made Straightforward
Simple installation keeps you trail-ready without losing hours in the garage.
Begin with a clean workspace and lay out labeled parts. Mount the reinforced bracket, set the 2nd cell in place, and follow the harness leads to each terminal.
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
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 | 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 | Follow labeled leads and fuse points | Simplifies future upgrades and diagnostics |
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.
Look for steadier voltage and better results with amps, winches, and powerful lights. A dedicated auxiliary AGM reduces spike-related dips, keeping audio clean and lights 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 recommends topping cells between trips to preserve capacity and extend lifespan.
- 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 | Benefit | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Performance | Steadier 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: Keep a suitable maintainer handy to stay topped up. This reduces surprises and preserves morning starts trip after trip.
