Good to know: 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. Its heavy-duty mount resists vibration/impacts for real off-road use.
Comes as a sealed AGM, shipped fully charged with hardware sized for your specific vehicle. The Can Am outlander 1000 xmr lifted system is maintenance-free in daily use, and a quality maintainer is advised to limit sulfation and extend service life.
Shop online to confirm fitment and get fast shipping, minimizing downtime from order to install. You keep stock starting capacity and gain usable amp-hours for winch, lights, and audio everywhere you ride.
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.
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 cranks with stock starting kept intact
Because the isolator protects the stock cell, your engine still cranks strong after a full night of electronics.
- Extra reserve: A second battery gives extra amp hours for high-draw gear at camp or on long rides.
- Less wear: Accessory offload eases stress on starter circuits and components.
- Automatic management: Automatic behavior via key position; no manual switch needed.
Can-Am Dual Battery Kit: Features & Benefits
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.
With an 80 amp isolator, sources link Key ON and the starter is isolated Key OFF. This automation prevents accessory draw from draining your starting source.
Heavy-duty bracket engineered for shock and vibration
The reinforced mount holds steady across washboard and big landings. It resists loosening/fatigue so your install stays neat and serviceable.
UTV Stereo Platinum Series AGM: sealed design, maintenance-free, durable
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 voltage under load helps preserve sound quality and lamp brightness at idle.
- The complete battery kit integrates with the factory system for a neat, durable install.
Model Fitment and Options for Can-Am Owners
Select the kit that matches factory mounts and wiring for your model.
Can-Am 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 Options: complete kit or bracket-only
Go complete for quick setup, or bracket-only to reuse an existing cell. Both approaches aim for a factory look and secure fit.
Defender Fit: second-battery kit sized for the stock compartment
Defender kits fit stock space and preserve access for service. That keeps factory clearances intact while adding reliable second battery capacity.
Bracket-only and wiring kits for owners with an AGM
Cut costs with mount + wiring when you own a spare AGM. You get clean routing and solid mounting without buying extras.
Alternatives: DS18 wire/bracket-only and AKJ Offroad solutions
- Explore AKJ Offroad for another full package option.
- DS18 offers a wire/bracket-only package and advertises free shipping on U.S. orders.
- Engineered to model geometry for factory-style, trail-secure installs.
Choose the path that matches your build: full kit for convenience, or modular parts to integrate gear you already own. Fitment notes minimize mistakes and help you order correctly the first time.
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 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 to limit splices and speed installs.
- Power distribution hardware featuring fused 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.
| Component | 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 | Wiring link | Easier installs 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.
Installation Made Straightforward
A straightforward install keeps your rig trail-ready without hours in the garage.
Begin with a clean workspace and lay out labeled parts. Mount the bracket, place the second cell, and route the harness to labeled terminals.
Simple behavior: Key ON/OFF
With the key ON, the 80A isolator links sources; key OFF keeps the starter isolated. 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 the supplied hardware to make clean grounds and fused distribution points instead of daisy-chaining accessory feeds.
| Stage | Action | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Mount bracket | Secure to reinforced points | Maintains clamp load under vibration |
| Place 2nd cell | Seat and fasten with clamp | Protects terminals and service access |
| Connect harness | Follow labeled leads and fuse points | Simplifies future upgrades and diagnostics |
Most mechanically inclined owners finish this installation with basic tools. 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.
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 recommends topping between trips to preserve capacity and extend life.
- Stock battery health is preserved by isolating starter power Key OFF.
- Running engine alternator replenishes reserves for efficient recharge on long rides.
- Sealed, vibration-resistant AGM design curbs damage over rough terrain.
| Area | Gain | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Performance | Stable voltage under load | Add a secondary AGM to support high-draw gear |
| Charging | Less capacity loss over time | Use a quality charger/maintainer between rides |
| Long-term care | Extended service life | Do routine maintenance charging on sealed cells |
Pro tip: Keep a suitable maintainer handy to stay topped up. That reduces surprises and helps preserve next-morning starts on every trip.
