Order Can Am Dual Battery Kit On the Web Today
Good to know: 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. A heavy-duty mount resists vibration and impacts for true off-road service.
Comes as a sealed AGM, shipped fully charged plus vehicle-matched hardware. The x3 full doors system is maintenance-free in daily use, 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.
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.
Power accessories while protecting 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: Accessory offload eases stress on starter circuits and components.
- Smart energy management: Automatic behavior via key position; no manual switch needed.
Can Am dual battery kit Features and Benefits
Here’s what the upgrade delivers for trails and daily 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. Automation prevents accessory drain on the starting battery.
Heavy-duty mounting bracket built for vibration and impacts
Reinforced brackets keep components anchored over washboard and landings. It resists loosening/fatigue so your install stays neat and serviceable.
UTV Stereo Platinum AGM: sealed, low-maintenance, long-life
UTV Stereo’s Platinum AGM ships fresh and fully charged. As a sealed agm battery, it resists spills and vibration and needs no routine maintenance.
Extra capacity over stock for lighting, audio, and gear
- Approximately 18 extra amp-hours compared to stock for longer accessory use.
- Cleaner under-load voltage preserves sound quality and lamp brightness at idle.
- Complete kit integrates with factory wiring for a neat, durable install.
Fitment & Options for Can-Am Models
Select the kit that matches factory mounts and wiring for your model.
Maverick X3 owners get a full 2nd battery kit that includes all wiring and hardware for a turnkey upgrade. If you’ve got an AGM already, the mount-only bracket from UTV Stereo makes 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 approaches aim for a factory look and secure fit.
Defender: tailored 2nd battery kit that fits the stock compartment
Built to fit the stock bay, the Defender kit preserves service access. You maintain factory clearances and gain dependable auxiliary capacity.
Already have an AGM? Choose bracket-only or wiring-only kits
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
- Explore AKJ Offroad for another full package option.
- 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.
Pick what fits your build—complete kit for convenience or modular parts to reuse gear. Clear fitment guidance cuts wrong orders and gets you the right parts first try.
In the Box: What You Get
A solid parts list shows exactly what arrives with your purchase and how each piece protects starting power while feeding accessories.
Choose a full package with a secondary agm battery or select the bracket-only route when you already have a compatible cell. Either way preserves the starter and adds usable capacity for lights, audio, and recovery tools.
Core components
- 80 amp battery isolator relay to manage charging/isolation.
- Model-specific harness to limit splices and speed installs.
- Distribution hardware with fused connection points for clean accessory feeds.
- Bracket, reinforced, to resist shock and vibration.
- Documentation that guides harness routing and proper distribution termination.
| Component | Role | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Secondary AGM cell | Provides extra amp hours | Starter remains ready during accessory use |
| 80A isolator relay | Manages charge and isolation | Prevents accessory draw from draining starter |
| Model harness | Wiring link | Simplifies install and service access |
| Distribution block & hardware | Clean accessory feeds | Tidy fused circuits for lights/audio |
Parts are off-road ready and sealed as needed for dust/moisture resistance. 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.
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. This design ensures accessories pull from the auxiliary so the starter remains reserved after long stops.
Solid bracket placement with tidy harness routing
Route the harness along factory paths, secure it with clips, and add abrasion protection at pinch points. Supplied hardware enables clean grounds and fused feeds—avoid daisy-chains.
| Step | What to do | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Mount bracket | Secure to reinforced points | Maintains clamp load under vibration |
| Place 2nd cell | Seat battery and clamp firmly | 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.
Expect steadier voltage with better performance for amps, winches, and high-output lights. A dedicated auxiliary AGM reduces spike-related dips, keeping audio clean and lights bright.
Charger/Maintainer: your sulfation prevention
Use a good maintainer to prevent sulfation, the primary cause of capacity loss in AGM batteries. 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.
- Sealed, vibration-resistant agm battery construction reduces damage from 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 |
Tip: Have a compatible maintainer ready to keep batteries topped. This reduces surprises and preserves morning starts trip after trip.
