Essential ATV Winch Accessories for Emergency Use

Order Can Am Dual Battery Kit Online Today

Good to know: 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.

A purpose-built 80A isolator links both batteries Key ON and isolates the starter Key OFF so accessories pull from the second battery. A heavy-duty mount resists vibration and impacts for true off-road service.

Expect a fresh, sealed AGM that ships fully charged with hardware sized for your specific vehicle. The best sound system for Honda talon 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. This smart upgrade preserves stock starting capacity while adding usable amp-hours for winches, lighting, and stereo power on every trail.

Why a Can-Am Dual Battery Kit Makes Sense for Your Next Ride

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

Run light bars, audio, GPS, and cabin heat while keeping the starter untouched. The accessory supply supplies steady voltage for sensitive electronics, reducing dimming and voltage dips when loads spike.

Confident starts thanks to preserved stock starting power

An isolator-managed system preserves the stock battery so cranking stays strong after long accessory use.

  • Extra reserve: Gain additional amp-hours for big-draw accessories during long rides.
  • Less wear: Moving accessory load off the starter lowers wear on circuits/components.
  • Smart energy management: No manual switching required—system behavior is automatic based on key position.

Can-Am Dual Battery Kit: Features & Benefits

This section highlights the practical advantages of the upgrade for trail use and everyday reliability. It combines automatic management, rugged mounting, and sealed cells so electronics run without risking the starter.

An 80A isolator ties sources Key ON and isolates the starter cell Key OFF. Automation prevents accessory drain on the starting battery.

Heavy-duty bracket engineered for shock and vibration

Reinforced brackets keep components anchored over washboard and landings. It resists loosening and fatigue so the install stays tidy and serviceable.

UTV Stereo Platinum AGM: sealed, low-maintenance, long-life

UTV Stereo’s Platinum AGM ships fresh and fully charged. Sealed AGM means spill resistance, vibration toughness, and no routine maintenance.

Adds extra amp hours vs stock for lights, audio, and accessories

  • Gain about 18 amp hours versus stock for longer runtime with lights and audio.
  • Steadier loaded voltage preserves audio clarity and lamp brightness at idle.
  • The complete battery kit integrates with the factory system for a neat, durable install.

Can-Am Owners: Model Fitment and Options

Pick model-specific packages that match factory mounts and wiring paths.

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.

Maverick X3: full second-battery kit or dual-mount bracket

Pick a complete kit for fast setup or the bracket-only path when reusing an existing cell. Both approaches aim for a factory look and secure fit.

Defender: model-fit second battery kit for stock bay

Built to fit the stock bay, the Defender kit preserves service access. You maintain factory clearances and gain dependable auxiliary capacity.

Bracket-only and wiring kits for owners with an AGM

Save by using a wire-and-mount package if you already have a battery. This solution delivers professional routing and solid mounting without extra parts.

Other Options: DS18 bracket/wire packages and AKJ Offroad kits

  • AKJ Offroad offers another full kit option.
  • DS18 lists bracket/wire-only packages with free U.S. shipping advertised.
  • All are engineered to model geometry for factory-look installs that hold up off-road.

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.

In the Box: What You Get

A clear parts list explains what’s included and how each piece protects the starter while feeding accessories.

Opt for a complete package with the secondary AGM or go bracket-only if you already own a compatible cell. Both paths keep the starter reserved and give you usable extra capacity for lights, audio, and recovery gear.

Core 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.
  • A reinforced bracket that secures the assembly against vibration and impacts.
  • Documentation that guides harness routing and proper distribution termination.
Item Function Benefit
Secondary AGM cell Provides extra amp hours Starter remains ready during accessory use
80A isolator relay Manages charge and isolation Stops accessory drain on starter
Model harness Wiring link Easier installs and service access
Distribution block & hardware Clean accessory feeds Neat fused circuits for lights and audio

Parts are off-road ready and sealed as needed for dust/moisture resistance. Integration with existing charge/accessory circuits keeps routing tidy and reliable.

Easy, Straightforward Install

Install is straightforward so your rig stays trail-ready with minimal downtime.

Prep a clear workspace and lay out the 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. This design ensures accessories pull from the auxiliary so the starter remains reserved after long stops.

Secure mounting + clean harness routing

Route the harness along factory paths, secure it with clips, and add abrasion protection at pinch points. Use the supplied hardware to make clean grounds and fused distribution points instead of daisy-chaining accessory feeds.

Step Action Why it matters
Mount bracket Secure to reinforced points Maintains clamp load under vibration
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. The amp-rated isolator and proper cables keep power delivery steady and protect starting batteries during long rides.

Performance, Charging & Long-Term Care

Strong, steady power keeps your aftermarket electronics UTV setup performing under heavy load. 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.

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 cells between trips to preserve capacity and extend lifespan.

  • The system preserves stock battery health by isolating starting power when the key is off.
  • When running, the alternator replenishes reserves for efficient recovery on long rides.
  • Sealed, vibration-resistant AGM design curbs damage over rough terrain.
Area Benefit Action
Performance Stable voltage under load Add a secondary AGM to support high-draw gear
Charging Lower long-term capacity loss Use a quality charger/maintainer between rides
Long-term care Longer service life Do routine maintenance charging on sealed cells

Tip: Have a compatible maintainer ready to keep batteries topped. That reduces surprises and helps preserve next-morning starts on every trip.
