Essential ATV Winch Accessories for Emergency Use
Order Can Am Dual Battery Kit Online Today
Quick fact: adding 18 amp hours to your UTV changes how you use lights and audio on long rides. This added capacity powers accessories longer and keeps the starter 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.
Arrives fresh, sealed AGM and fully charged plus vehicle-matched hardware. The Can Am defender cover setup needs no daily maintenance, though a charger or maintainer is recommended to prevent sulfation and extend 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
For long nights of lights and music, a dedicated auxiliary source keeps the starter ready when you need it. With an 80A isolator, Key ON combines sources; Key OFF isolates the starter so accessories draw from the auxiliary battery.
Run accessories without draining your stock battery
Power more accessories like light bars, sound systems, GPS, and in-cab heaters without depleting your starting source. Accessory power remains steady for sensitive gear, cutting dimming and dips during spikes.
Confident starts thanks to preserved stock starting power
The isolator-driven system automatically prioritizes preserving stock battery so your machine cranks strong after a long night with electronics running.
- Reserve capacity: Gain additional amp-hours for big-draw accessories during long rides.
- Reduced strain: Moving accessory load off the starter lowers wear on circuits/components.
- Smart energy management: No manual switches—key position controls behavior automatically.
Can Am dual battery kit Features and Benefits
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.
The 80 amp battery isolator links both power sources when the key is on and isolates the starter cell when the key is off. That automation stops accessories from draining the starter.
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.
UTV Stereo Platinum Series AGM: sealed, maintenance-free, long-lasting
The UTV Stereo Platinum Series AGM arrives fresh and fully charged. Sealed AGM construction resists spill/vibration and needs no routine maintenance.
Extra capacity over stock for lighting, audio, and gear
- Gain about 18 amp hours versus stock for longer runtime with lights and audio.
- Cleaner voltage under load helps preserve sound quality and lamp brightness at idle.
- Complete kit integrates with factory wiring for a neat, durable install.
Fitment & Options for Can-Am Models
Choose the right fit for your UTV with model-specific packages that match factory mounting points and wiring paths.
Maverick X3 owners can choose a full second-battery kit with all wiring/hardware for turnkey install. If you’ve got an AGM already, the mount-only bracket from UTV Stereo makes for a tidy install.
Maverick X3: full second-battery kit or dual-mount bracket
Choose the full kit for speed or go bracket-only if you’re reusing a battery. Both choices target a factory look and secure fit.
Defender: tailored 2nd battery kit that fits the stock compartment
The Defender kit is built to fit the stock space and preserve service access. That keeps factory clearances intact while adding reliable second battery capacity.
Bracket-only and wire kit options if you already own an AGM battery
Cut costs with mount + wiring when you own a spare AGM. It delivers pro routing and solid mounting without unnecessary parts.
Other Options: DS18 bracket/wire packages and AKJ Offroad kits
- Explore AKJ Offroad for another full package option.
- DS18 has wire/bracket-only options and promotes free shipping in the U.S..
- Each product is engineered around model geometry so the install looks factory and stays secure on rough trails.
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.
What’s Included in the Kit
Here’s what you receive and how it protects the starter yet feeds accessories.
Pick a full package including the auxiliary AGM, or choose bracket-only if you’ve already got a compatible battery. Both options protect starting power and add capacity for lights/audio/recovery.
Primary components
- Battery isolator relay (80A) for charge management between sources.
- Harness, model-specific, to simplify wiring and speed install.
- Power distribution hardware with fused taps to keep accessory feeds tidy.
- Bracket, reinforced, to resist shock and vibration.
- Clear documentation for routing/termination of harness and distribution.
Item | Function | 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 | 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. 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.
Begin with a clean workspace and lay out labeled parts. Install the bracket, seat the second battery, then connect the labeled harness leads.
Simple behavior: Key ON/OFF
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.
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 | Follow labeled leads and fuse points | Simplifies future upgrades and diagnostics |
Basic tools are enough for most mechanically inclined owners. Amp-rated isolator plus proper cabling stabilize power and protect the starter on long rides.
Performance, Charging & Long-Term Care
Steady power keeps aftermarket UTV electronics performing under heavy loads. Routine care and proper charging make performance repeatable each season.
Expect steadier voltage with better performance for amps, winches, and high-output lights. The auxiliary AGM trims voltage dips on spikes, keeping sound clean and lights bright.
Prevent sulfation with a charger/maintainer
Regular top-offs with a quality maintainer help prevent sulfation—the main cause of capacity loss in AGM designs. UTV Stereo recommends topping cells between trips to preserve capacity and extend lifespan.
- Key OFF isolation preserves stock battery health.
- While running, the alternator replenishes reserves so long rides restore charge efficiently.
- Vibration-resistant sealed AGM construction reduces rough-terrain damage.
Aspect | Gain | Action |
---|---|---|
Performance | Steadier 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 | Do routine maintenance charging on sealed cells |
Pro tip: Have a compatible maintainer ready to keep batteries topped. It cuts surprises and preserves next-morning starts on every trip.
