Surprising fact: an extra 18 amp hours on a UTV can transform long-ride lighting and audio use. That extra capacity lets accessories run longer while your starter stays protected.
A purpose-built 80A isolator links both batteries Key ON and isolates the starter Key OFF so accessories pull from the second battery. The rugged mount fights vibration and shock for authentic off-road duty.
Expect a fresh, sealed AGM that ships fully charged and hardware sized to match your vehicle. The Can Am x3 metal doors 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. You keep stock starting capacity and gain usable amp-hours for winch, lights, and audio everywhere you ride.
Top Reasons to Run a Can-Am Dual Battery Kit on Your Next Trip
When your rig needs long nights of lights and music, a dedicated secondary power source keeps the starter ready for the moment that matters. 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
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 starts thanks to preserved stock starting power
Because the isolator protects the stock cell, your engine still cranks strong after a full night of electronics.
- Reserve capacity: A second battery gives extra amp hours for high-draw gear at camp or on long rides.
- Less wear: Offloading accessories reduces stress on the starting circuit and components.
- Automatic management: No manual switching required—system behavior is automatic based on key position.
Can Am dual battery kit Features and 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.
An 80A isolator ties sources Key ON and isolates the starter cell Key OFF. This automation prevents accessory draw from draining your starting source.
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 Series AGM: sealed design, maintenance-free, durable
UTV Stereo’s Platinum AGM ships fresh and fully charged. Sealed AGM construction resists spill/vibration and needs no routine maintenance.
More amp-hours than stock for lights/audio/accessories
- 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.
- 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.
Can-Am Maverick X3 owners get a full 2nd battery kit that includes all wiring and hardware for a turnkey upgrade. If you already own an AGM, the mount-only option from UTV Stereo provides a neat bracket for a tidy install.

Kit Contents
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 if you already own a compatible cell. Both options protect starting power and add capacity for lights/audio/recovery.
Core components
- An 80 amp battery isolator relay module to manage charge flow between sources.
- Model-specific harness that reduces splices and speeds installation.
- Distribution hardware with fused taps to keep accessory feeds tidy.
- Reinforced bracket to secure components against vibration/impacts.
- Clear documentation for routing/termination of harness and distribution.
| Item | Role | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Secondary AGM cell | Provides extra amp hours | Keeps starter ready while running accessories |
| 80A isolator relay | Manages charge and isolation | Stops accessory drain on starter |
| Model harness | Wiring link | Simplifies install and service access |
| Distribution block & hardware | Fused accessory feeds | Neat fused circuits for lights and 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.
Straightforward Installation
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 Key ON/Key OFF behavior
Key ON links sources via 80A isolator; key OFF isolates the starter. The design routes accessory load to the aux battery, preserving the starter after extended stops.
Secure bracket placement and clean harness routing
Follow factory paths, use clips, and add abrasion sleeves at pinch points. Use the supplied hardware to make clean grounds and fused distribution points instead of daisy-chaining accessory feeds.
| Stage | What to do | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Mount bracket | Secure to reinforced points | Handles vibration and maintains clamp load |
| Place 2nd cell | Seat battery and clamp firmly | 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. Routine care and proper charging make performance repeatable each season.
Expect steadier voltage and improved performance for audio amps, winches, and high-output lights. A dedicated secondary agm reduces dips during spikes so sound stays clean and lamps stay 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 between trips to preserve capacity and extend life.
- Key OFF isolation preserves stock battery health.
- While running, the alternator replenishes reserves so long rides restore charge efficiently.
- Sealed, vibration-resistant AGM design curbs damage over rough terrain.
| Aspect | Gain | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Performance | Steadier voltage under load | Add a secondary AGM to support high-draw gear |
| Charging | Less capacity loss over time | Employ a quality charger/maintainer between outings |
| 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. That reduces surprises and helps preserve next-morning starts on every trip.
