Quick fact: adding 18 amp hours to your UTV changes how you use lights and audio on long rides. That extra capacity lets accessories run longer while your starter stays protected.
Engineered with an 80 amp isolator, it combines sources when the key is on and protects the starter when the key is off, feeding accessories from the auxiliary cell. 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 Can Am maverick doors setup needs no daily maintenance, 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. It preserves stock starting power yet adds usable amp-hours for winches, lights, and stereo on any trail.
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. 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.
Power accessories while protecting your stock battery
Drive light bars, audio, GPS, and heaters without draining the starter. The accessory supply supplies steady voltage for sensitive electronics, reducing dimming and voltage dips when loads spike.
Confident cranks with stock starting kept intact
Because the isolator protects the stock cell, your engine still cranks strong after a full night of electronics.
- Extra reserve: A second battery gives extra amp hours for high-draw gear at camp or on long rides.
- Reduced strain: Accessory offload eases stress on starter circuits and components.
- Automatic management: Automatic behavior via key position; no manual switch needed.
Key Features & Benefits of the Can-Am Dual Battery Kit
Here’s what the upgrade delivers for trails and daily reliability. The design pairs automatic energy management with a rugged mount and sealed cells to keep electronics running 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
A reinforced bracket anchors components through washboard trails and hard landings. It resists loosening and fatigue so the install stays tidy and serviceable.

| Item | Function | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Secondary AGM cell | Adds capacity | Starter remains ready during accessory use |
| 80A isolator relay | Manages charge and 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 |
Parts are off-road ready and sealed as needed for dust/moisture resistance. 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. Install the bracket, seat the second battery, then connect the labeled harness leads.
Key Position Behavior Made Simple
The 80 amp isolator links both sources when the key is on and lets the starting cell remain battery isolated when the key is off. The design routes accessory load to the aux battery, preserving the starter after extended stops.
Solid bracket placement with tidy harness routing
Follow factory paths, use clips, and add abrasion sleeves at pinch 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 | Maintains clamp load under vibration |
| Place 2nd cell | Seat and fasten with clamp | Keeps terminals safe and serviceable |
| Connect harness | Follow labeled leads and fuse points | Simplifies future upgrades and diagnostics |
Most mechanically inclined owners finish this installation with basic tools. The amp-rated isolator and proper cables keep power delivery steady and protect starting batteries during long rides.
Charging, Performance, and Long-Term Maintenance
Robust, steady power sustains aftermarket electronics under 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 secondary agm reduces dips during spikes so sound stays clean and lamps stay 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 cells between trips to preserve capacity and extend lifespan.
- Stock battery health is preserved by isolating starter power Key OFF.
- Running engine alternator replenishes reserves for efficient recharge on long rides.
- Vibration-resistant sealed AGM construction reduces rough-terrain damage.
| Area | Gain | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Performance | Stable voltage under load | Add a secondary AGM to support high-draw gear |
| Charging | Lower long-term capacity loss | Employ a quality charger/maintainer between outings |
| Long-term care | Longer service life | Pair sealed cells with routine maintenance charging |
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.
