Order Can Am Dual Battery Kit Right Now Online
Surprising 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. The rugged mount fights vibration and shock for authentic off-road duty.
Comes as a sealed AGM, shipped fully charged and hardware sized to match your vehicle. The Honda snorkel system is maintenance-free in daily use, 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.
Top Reasons to Run a Can-Am Dual Battery Kit on Your Next Trip
For long nights of lights and music, a dedicated auxiliary source keeps the starter ready when you need it. 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.
Power accessories while protecting 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 cranks with stock starting kept intact
An isolator-managed system preserves the stock battery so cranking stays strong after long accessory use.
- Reserve capacity: A second battery gives extra amp hours for high-draw gear at camp or on long rides.
- Less wear: Moving accessory load off the starter lowers wear on circuits/components.
- Automatic management: No manual switches—key position controls behavior automatically.
Can-Am Dual Battery Kit: Features & Benefits
Practical advantages for real trails and day-to-day reliability. Automatic control plus a rugged mount and sealed cells keep electronics powered while protecting the starter.
An 80A isolator ties sources Key ON and isolates the starter cell Key OFF. That automation stops accessories from draining the starter.
Heavy-duty mounting bracket built for vibration and impacts
The reinforced mount holds steady across washboard and big landings. It resists loosening and fatigue so the install stays tidy and serviceable.
UTV Stereo Platinum Series AGM: sealed, maintenance-free, long-lasting

- Cleaner voltage under load helps preserve 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
Select the kit that matches factory mounts and wiring for your model.
Can-Am Maverick X3 owners can opt for a full second-battery kit with wiring/hardware for a quick upgrade. If you already own an AGM, the mount-only option from UTV Stereo provides a neat bracket for a tidy install.
Maverick X3: complete 2nd battery kit and dual battery mount
Go complete for quick setup, or bracket-only to reuse an existing cell. Both choices target a factory look and secure fit.
Defender: tailored 2nd battery kit that fits the stock compartment
Defender kits fit stock space and preserve access for service. That keeps factory clearances intact while adding reliable second battery capacity.
Already have an AGM? Choose bracket-only or wiring-only kits
Save money with a wire-and-mount package when you have a spare battery. It delivers pro routing and solid mounting without unnecessary parts.
Alternative Packages: DS18 bracket/wire-only and AKJ Offroad full kits
- Explore AKJ Offroad for another full package option.
- DS18 offers a wire/bracket-only package and advertises free shipping on U.S. orders.
- Each product is engineered around model geometry so the install looks factory and stays secure on rough trails.
Select a complete kit for convenience or modular parts to integrate existing gear. Fitment notes minimize mistakes and help you order correctly the first time.
In the Box: What You Get
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 when you already have a compatible cell. Either way preserves the starter and adds usable capacity for lights, audio, and recovery tools.
Core components
- Battery isolator relay (80A) for charge management between sources.
- Model-specific harness to limit splices and speed installs.
- Power 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.
Component | Function | 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 | Connects components | Simplifies install and service access |
Distribution block & hardware | Clean accessory feeds | Neat fused circuits for lights and audio |
All parts suit off-road duty, with sealing where needed against dust/moisture. Integration with existing charge/accessory circuits keeps routing tidy and reliable.
Straightforward Installation
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. Install the bracket, seat the second battery, then connect the labeled harness leads.
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.
Secure mounting + clean harness routing
Route the harness along factory paths, secure it with clips, and add abrasion protection at pinch 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 | 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 | Makes upgrades and diagnostics easier |
Basic tools are enough for most mechanically inclined owners. The amp-rated isolator and proper cables keep power delivery steady and protect starting batteries during long rides.
Performance, Charging & Long-Term Care
Steady power keeps aftermarket UTV electronics performing under heavy loads. With proper charging and routine care, reliability repeats season after 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.
Charger/Maintainer: your sulfation prevention
Regular top-offs with a quality maintainer help prevent sulfation—the main cause of capacity loss in AGM designs. UTV Stereo recommends topping cells between trips to preserve capacity and extend lifespan.
- Key OFF isolation preserves stock battery health.
- Running engine alternator replenishes reserves for efficient recharge on long rides.
- Vibration-resistant sealed AGM construction reduces rough-terrain damage.
Area | Benefit | 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 | Pair sealed cells with routine maintenance charging |
Pro tip: Keep a compatible maintainer on hand so your batteries stay topped off. That reduces surprises and helps preserve next-morning starts on every trip.
