Buy Can Am Dual Battery Kit Online Today
Surprising fact: an extra 18 amp hours on a UTV can transform long-ride lighting and audio use. This added capacity powers accessories longer and keeps the starter 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.
Arrives fresh, sealed AGM and fully charged plus vehicle-matched hardware. The ITP Blackwater system is maintenance-free in daily use, but using a charger/maintainer helps prevent sulfation and lengthen 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.
Why Choose a Can-Am Dual Battery Kit for Your Next Adventure
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.
Run accessories without draining your stock battery
Run light bars, audio, GPS, and cabin heat while keeping the starter untouched. 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.
- Extra reserve: A second battery gives extra amp hours for high-draw gear at camp or on long rides.
- Reduced strain: Moving accessory load off the starter lowers wear on circuits/components.
- Automatic management: No manual switches—key position controls behavior automatically.
Key Features & Benefits of the Can-Am Dual Battery Kit
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.
The 80 amp battery isolator links both power sources when the key is on and isolates the starter cell when the key is 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. Resistance to loosening and fatigue keeps installs tidy and easy to service.

| Component | Function | Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| 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 | Connects components | Simplifies install 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. It integrates with existing charging/accessory circuits for organized, reliable routing.
Straightforward Installation
Simple installation keeps you trail-ready without losing 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.
Key Position Behavior Made Simple
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
Follow factory paths, use clips, and add abrasion sleeves at pinch points. Supplied hardware enables clean grounds and fused feeds—avoid daisy-chains.
| 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 | Connect labeled leads/fuse points | Makes upgrades and diagnostics easier |
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, 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 auxiliary AGM reduces spike-related dips, keeping audio clean and lights 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.
- Stock battery health is preserved by isolating starter power Key OFF.
- When running, the alternator replenishes reserves for efficient recovery on long rides.
- Sealed, vibration-resistant AGM design curbs damage over rough terrain.
| Area | Gain | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Performance | Stable 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: Keep a compatible maintainer on hand so your batteries stay topped off. That reduces surprises and helps preserve next-morning starts on every trip.
