Arrives fresh, sealed AGM and fully charged with hardware sized for your specific vehicle. The best RZR seats setup needs no daily maintenance, but using a charger/maintainer helps prevent sulfation and lengthen life.
Order online for clear fitment data and quick delivery, reducing time from purchase to install. This smart upgrade preserves stock starting capacity while adding usable amp-hours for winches, lighting, and stereo power on every 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. 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.
Run accessories without draining your stock battery
Run light bars, audio, GPS, and cabin heat while keeping the starter untouched. The accessory supply supplies steady voltage for sensitive electronics, reducing dimming and voltage dips when loads spike.
Confident cranks with stock starting kept intact
The isolator-driven system automatically prioritizes preserving stock battery so your machine cranks strong after a long night with electronics running.
- Reserve capacity: A second battery gives extra amp hours for high-draw gear at camp or on long rides.
- 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
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.

- Power distribution hardware featuring fused points for clean accessory feeds.
- Reinforced bracket to secure components against vibration/impacts.
- Documentation that guides harness routing and proper distribution termination.
Item | Function | Benefit |
---|---|---|
Secondary AGM cell | Provides extra amp hours | Keeps starter ready while running accessories |
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 suit off-road duty, with sealing where needed against dust/moisture. It integrates with existing charging/accessory circuits for organized, reliable routing.
Easy, Straightforward Install
Simple installation keeps you trail-ready without losing hours in the garage.
Prep a clear workspace and lay out the labeled parts. Install the bracket, seat the second battery, then connect the labeled harness leads.
Simple Key ON/Key OFF behavior
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.
Secure bracket placement and 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 | Action | Why it matters |
---|---|---|
Mount bracket | Secure to reinforced points | Handles vibration and maintains clamp load |
Place 2nd cell | Seat and fasten with clamp | Keeps terminals safe and serviceable |
Connect harness | Connect labeled leads/fuse points | Simplifies future upgrades and diagnostics |
Most DIYers can complete the install 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. Proper charging and routine care make that reliability repeatable season after season.
Expect steadier voltage and improved performance for audio amps, winches, and high-output lights. A dedicated auxiliary AGM reduces spike-related dips, keeping audio clean and lights bright.
Prevent sulfation with a charger/maintainer
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.
- When running, the alternator replenishes reserves for efficient recovery on long rides.
- Sealed, vibration-resistant AGM design curbs damage over rough terrain.
Area | Benefit | 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 suitable maintainer handy to stay topped up. This reduces surprises and preserves morning starts trip after trip.
