Good to know: adding 18 amp hours to your UTV changes how you use lights and audio on long rides. More capacity means longer accessory runtime while safeguarding the starter.
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. A heavy-duty mount resists vibration and impacts for true off-road service.
Arrives fresh, sealed AGM and fully charged and hardware sized to match your vehicle. The Polaris ranger northstar accessories kit runs maintenance-free day to day, 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. 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. With an 80A isolator, Key ON combines sources; Key OFF isolates the starter so accessories draw from the auxiliary battery.
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: Gain additional amp-hours for big-draw accessories during long rides.
- Less wear: Offloading accessories reduces stress on the starting circuit and components.
- Smart energy management: No manual switching required—system behavior is automatic based on key position.
Can Am dual battery kit Features and Benefits
This section highlights the practical advantages of the upgrade for trail use and everyday reliability. Automatic control plus a rugged mount and sealed cells keep electronics powered while protecting the starter.

Kit Contents
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 when you already have a compatible cell. Both options protect starting power and add capacity for lights/audio/recovery.
Main components
- 80 amp battery isolator relay to manage charging/isolation.
- Harness, model-specific, to simplify wiring and speed install.
- Power distribution hardware with fused connection points for clean accessory feeds.
- Reinforced bracket to secure components against vibration/impacts.
- Clear documentation to route the harness and terminate distribution points correctly.
| Component | Function | Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Secondary AGM cell | Provides extra amp hours | Starter remains ready during accessory use |
| 80A isolator relay | Controls charge/isolation | Stops accessory drain on starter |
| Model harness | Wiring link | Easier installs and service access |
| Distribution block & hardware | Fused accessory feeds | Tidy fused circuits for lights/audio |
All parts are selected for off-road use and sealed where needed to resist dust and moisture. Integration with existing charge/accessory circuits keeps routing tidy and reliable.
Straightforward Installation
Install is straightforward so your rig stays trail-ready with minimal downtime.
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. This isolator design allows isolate new accessory loads so your starter stays reserved after long stops.
Secure mounting + clean harness routing
Follow factory paths, use clips, and add abrasion sleeves at pinch points. Supplied hardware enables clean grounds and fused feeds—avoid daisy-chains.
| Step | Action | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Mount bracket | Bolt into reinforced points | Handles vibration and maintains clamp load |
| Place 2nd cell | Seat and fasten with clamp | Protects terminals and service access |
| Connect harness | Follow labeled leads and fuse points | Makes upgrades and diagnostics easier |
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.
Charging, Performance, and Long-Term Maintenance
Steady power keeps aftermarket UTV electronics performing under heavy loads. 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. The auxiliary AGM trims voltage dips on spikes, keeping sound clean and lights bright.
Charger/Maintainer: your sulfation prevention
Regular top-offs with a quality maintainer help prevent sulfation—the main cause of capacity loss in AGM designs. UTV Stereo recommends topping between trips to preserve capacity and extend life.
- The system preserves stock battery health by isolating starting power when the key is off.
- While running, the alternator replenishes reserves so long rides restore charge efficiently.
- Sealed, vibration-resistant agm battery construction reduces damage from rough terrain.
| Area | 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 | Longer service life | Pair sealed cells with routine maintenance charging |
Tip: Have a compatible maintainer ready to keep batteries topped. This reduces surprises and preserves morning starts trip after trip.
