Good to know: an extra 18 amp hours on a UTV can transform long-ride lighting and audio use. 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. A heavy-duty mount resists vibration and impacts for true off-road service.
Comes as a sealed AGM, shipped fully charged and hardware sized to match your vehicle. The plow for Polaris sportsman 450 system is maintenance-free in daily use, and a quality maintainer is advised to limit sulfation and extend service 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.
Top Reasons to Run a Can-Am Dual Battery Kit on Your Next Trip
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
Drive light bars, audio, GPS, and heaters without draining the starter. 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.
- Extra reserve: A second battery gives extra amp hours for high-draw gear at camp or on long rides.
- Less wear: Accessory offload eases stress on starter circuits and components.
- Smart energy management: No manual switches—key position controls behavior automatically.
Key Features & Benefits of the Can-Am Dual Battery Kit
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.
The 80 amp battery isolator links both power sources when the key is on and isolates the starter cell when the key is off. This automation prevents accessory draw from draining your starting source.
Heavy-duty bracket engineered for shock and vibration
The reinforced mount holds steady across washboard and big landings. It resists loosening and fatigue so the install stays tidy and serviceable.

In the Box: What You Get
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. Both options protect starting power and add capacity for lights/audio/recovery.
Core components
- Battery isolator relay (80A) for charge management between sources.
- Model-specific harness to limit splices and speed installs.
- Distribution hardware with fused taps to keep accessory feeds tidy.
- Bracket, reinforced, to resist shock and vibration.
- Clear documentation to route the harness and terminate distribution points correctly.
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 | Easier installs and service access |
Distribution block & hardware | Fused accessory feeds | Tidy fused circuits for lights/audio |
All parts are selected for off-road use and sealed where needed to resist dust and moisture. Integration with existing charge/accessory circuits keeps routing tidy and reliable.
Easy, Straightforward Install
Install is straightforward so your rig stays trail-ready with minimal downtime.
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 behavior: Key ON/OFF
Key ON links sources via 80A isolator; key OFF isolates the starter. This isolator design allows isolate new accessory loads so your starter stays reserved after long stops.
Solid bracket placement with tidy harness routing
Use factory routing, secure with clips, and sleeve abrasion points. Supplied hardware enables clean grounds and fused feeds—avoid daisy-chains.
Stage | What to do | Why it matters |
---|---|---|
Mount bracket | Secure to reinforced points | Handles vibration and maintains clamp load |
Place 2nd cell | Seat battery and clamp firmly | Protects terminals and service access |
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.
Charging, Performance, and Long-Term Maintenance
Strong, steady power keeps your aftermarket electronics UTV setup performing under heavy load. 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 charging with a quality maintainer prevents sulfation, which is the leading cause of capacity loss in agm battery designs. UTV Stereo advises between-trip top-offs to preserve capacity and extend life.
- 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 | Stable voltage under load | Use a new secondary agm to support high-draw accessories |
Charging | Lower long-term capacity loss | Employ a quality charger/maintainer between outings |
Long-term care | Extended service life | Do routine maintenance charging on sealed cells |
Pro tip: Keep a compatible maintainer on hand so your batteries stay topped off. It cuts surprises and preserves next-morning starts on every trip.
