Good to know: 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.
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. 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 Honda pioneer 700 lift kit setup needs no daily maintenance, but using a charger/maintainer helps prevent sulfation and lengthen life.
Shop online for clear fitment and fast delivery so a customer can move from order to install with minimal downtime. 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
If you run lights and audio late, a second power source keeps the starter prepared. With an 80A isolator, Key ON combines sources; Key OFF isolates the starter so accessories draw from the auxiliary battery.
Use accessories freely and preserve 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 starts thanks to preserved stock starting power
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.
- 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. Automation prevents accessory drain on the starting battery.
Heavy-duty mounting bracket built for vibration and impacts
A reinforced bracket anchors components through washboard trails and hard landings. It resists loosening/fatigue so your install stays neat and serviceable.

What’s Included in the Kit
A clear parts list explains what’s included and how each piece protects the starter while feeding accessories.
Pick a full package including the auxiliary AGM, or choose bracket-only if you already own a compatible cell. Either way preserves the starter and adds usable capacity for lights, audio, and recovery tools.
Main components
- 80 amp battery isolator relay to manage charging/isolation.
- Harness, model-specific, to simplify wiring and speed install.
- Distribution hardware with fused connection points for clean accessory feeds.
- Bracket, reinforced, to resist shock and vibration.
- Clear documentation to route the harness and terminate distribution points correctly.
Item | Role | Benefit |
---|---|---|
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 | Simplifies install and service access |
Distribution block & hardware | Clean accessory feeds | Tidy fused circuits for lights/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.
Easy, Straightforward Install
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.
Key Position Behavior Made Simple
Key ON links sources via 80A isolator; key OFF isolates the starter. This design ensures accessories pull from the auxiliary so the starter remains reserved after long 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 | Action | Why it matters |
---|---|---|
Mount bracket | Bolt into reinforced points | Maintains clamp load under vibration |
Place 2nd cell | Seat battery and clamp firmly | Protects terminals and service access |
Connect harness | Follow labeled leads and fuse points | Makes upgrades and diagnostics easier |
Most mechanically inclined owners finish this installation with basic tools. Properly rated isolator and cables stabilize delivery and protect the starter on extended rides.
Performance, Charging, and Long-Term Maintenance
Strong, steady power keeps your aftermarket electronics UTV setup performing under heavy load. Proper charging and routine care make that reliability repeatable season after season.
Look for steadier voltage and better results with amps, winches, and powerful lights. The auxiliary AGM trims voltage dips on spikes, keeping sound clean and lights bright.
Use a charger/maintainer to prevent sulfation
Regular top-offs with a quality maintainer help prevent sulfation—the main cause of capacity loss in AGM designs. UTV Stereo recommends topping between trips to preserve capacity and extend life.
- Key OFF isolation preserves stock battery health.
- When running, the alternator replenishes reserves for efficient recovery on long rides.
- Sealed, vibration-resistant AGM design curbs damage over rough terrain.
Aspect | Gain | What to do |
---|---|---|
Performance | Steadier voltage under load | Add a secondary AGM to support high-draw gear |
Charging | Lower long-term capacity loss | Use a quality charger/maintainer between rides |
Long-term care | Longer service life | Do routine maintenance charging on sealed cells |
Pro tip: Keep a compatible maintainer on hand so your batteries stay topped off. This reduces surprises and preserves morning starts trip after trip.
