Quick fact: with 18 additional amp hours, long rides feel different for lights and sound. This added capacity powers accessories longer and keeps the starter 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. The rugged mount fights vibration and shock for authentic off-road duty.
Arrives fresh, sealed AGM and fully charged and hardware sized to match your vehicle. The Polaris snow plow for sportsman 570 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. It preserves stock starting power yet adds usable amp-hours for winches, lights, and stereo on any trail.
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. The accessory supply supplies steady voltage for sensitive electronics, reducing dimming and voltage dips when loads spike.
Confident cranks with stock starting kept intact
The isolator-driven system automatically prioritizes preserving stock battery so your machine cranks strong after a long night with electronics running.
- Reserve capacity: Gain additional amp-hours for big-draw accessories during long rides.
- Reduced strain: Offloading accessories reduces stress on the starting circuit and components.
- Smart energy management: Automatic behavior via key position; no manual switch needed.
Key Features & Benefits of the Can-Am Dual Battery Kit
Here’s what the upgrade delivers for trails and daily reliability. It combines automatic management, rugged mounting, and sealed cells so electronics run without risking 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.
Rugged mounting bracket for vibration and hits
A reinforced bracket anchors components through washboard trails and hard landings. It resists loosening/fatigue so your install stays neat and serviceable.

Straightforward Installation
Simple installation keeps you trail-ready without losing hours in the garage.
Prep a clear workspace and lay out the labeled parts. Install the bracket, seat the second battery, then connect the labeled harness leads.
Simple Key ON/Key OFF behavior
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 design ensures accessories pull from the auxiliary so the starter remains reserved after long stops.
Secure mounting + 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.
| Step | What to do | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Mount bracket | Bolt into reinforced points | Handles vibration and maintains clamp load |
| Place 2nd cell | Seat battery and clamp firmly | Keeps terminals safe and serviceable |
| 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
Strong, steady power keeps your aftermarket electronics UTV setup performing under heavy 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. The auxiliary AGM trims voltage dips on spikes, keeping sound clean and lights bright.
Charger/Maintainer: your sulfation prevention
Regular charging with a quality maintainer prevents sulfation, which is the leading cause of capacity loss in agm battery designs. UTV Stereo advises between-trip top-offs to preserve capacity and extend life.
- Key OFF isolation preserves stock battery health.
- Running engine alternator replenishes reserves for efficient recharge on long rides.
- Vibration-resistant sealed AGM construction reduces rough-terrain damage.
| Area | Benefit | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Performance | Steadier voltage under load | Use a new secondary agm to support high-draw accessories |
| Charging | Lower long-term capacity loss | Employ a quality charger/maintainer between outings |
| Long-term care | Longer service life | Pair sealed cells with routine maintenance charging |
Pro tip: Keep a compatible maintainer on hand so your batteries stay topped off. It cuts surprises and preserves next-morning starts on every trip.
