Buy Can Am Dual Battery Kit Right Now Online
Surprising fact: with 18 additional amp hours, long rides feel different for lights and sound. 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. The rugged mount fights vibration and shock for authentic off-road duty.
Arrives fresh, sealed AGM and fully charged plus vehicle-matched hardware. The Can Am outlander 6 inch lift setup needs no daily maintenance, and a quality maintainer is advised to limit sulfation and extend service 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.
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. 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
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.
- Reserve capacity: The auxiliary cell adds amp-hour reserve for high-draw gear on trail or at camp.
- Less wear: Moving accessory load off the starter lowers wear on circuits/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. 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.
Rugged mounting bracket for vibration and hits
A reinforced bracket anchors components through washboard trails and hard landings. It resists loosening and fatigue so the install stays tidy and serviceable.

Kit Contents
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 when you already have a compatible cell. Both paths keep the starter reserved and give you usable extra capacity for lights, audio, and recovery gear.
Main components
- 80 amp battery isolator relay to manage charging/isolation.
- Model-specific harness that reduces splices and speeds installation.
- Distribution hardware with fused connection points for clean accessory feeds.
- A reinforced bracket that secures the assembly against vibration and impacts.
- Clear documentation to route the harness and terminate distribution points correctly.
Item | Role | Why it matters |
---|---|---|
Secondary AGM cell | Adds capacity | Keeps starter ready while running accessories |
80A isolator relay | Manages charge and isolation | Stops accessory drain on 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. The complete package integrates with existing charge and accessory circuits so routing stays organized and reliable.
Straightforward Installation
A straightforward install keeps your rig trail-ready without hours in the garage.
Prep a clear workspace and lay out the labeled parts. Mount the bracket, place the second cell, and route the harness to labeled terminals.
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
Use factory routing, secure with clips, and sleeve abrasion points. Use the supplied hardware to make clean grounds and fused distribution points instead of daisy-chaining accessory feeds.
Step | Action | Reason |
---|---|---|
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 | Makes upgrades and diagnostics easier |
Basic tools are enough for most mechanically inclined owners. Properly rated isolator and cables stabilize delivery and protect the starter on extended rides.
Performance, Charging, and Long-Term Maintenance
Robust, steady power sustains aftermarket electronics under 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. A dedicated auxiliary AGM reduces spike-related dips, keeping audio clean and lights 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 advises between-trip top-offs to preserve capacity and extend life.
- Stock battery health is preserved by isolating starter power Key OFF.
- While running, the alternator replenishes reserves so long rides restore charge efficiently.
- Sealed, vibration-resistant agm battery construction reduces damage from rough terrain.
Aspect | Benefit | What to do |
---|---|---|
Performance | Stable 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 | Extended service life | Do routine maintenance charging on sealed cells |
Tip: Keep a compatible maintainer on hand so your batteries stay topped off. This reduces surprises and preserves morning starts trip after trip.
