Buy Can Am Dual Battery Kit Right Now Online
Surprising fact: an extra 18 amp hours on a UTV can transform long-ride lighting and audio use. 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. Its heavy-duty mount resists vibration/impacts for real off-road use.
Comes as a sealed AGM, shipped fully charged with hardware sized for your specific vehicle. The Can Am commander 1000 doors kit runs maintenance-free day to day, though a charger or maintainer is recommended to prevent sulfation and extend life.
Shop online to confirm fitment and get fast shipping, minimizing downtime from order to install. 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
If you run lights and audio late, a second power source keeps the starter prepared. With an 80A isolator, Key ON combines sources; Key OFF isolates the starter so accessories draw from the auxiliary battery.
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 starts thanks to preserved stock starting power
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.
- Automatic management: No manual switches—key position controls behavior automatically.
Can Am dual battery kit Features and Benefits
Practical advantages for real trails and day-to-day reliability. It combines automatic management, rugged mounting, and sealed cells so electronics run without risking 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 bracket engineered for shock and vibration
The reinforced mount holds steady across washboard and big landings. Resistance to loosening and fatigue keeps installs tidy and easy to service.

Easy, Straightforward Install
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.
Key Position Behavior Made Simple
With the key ON, the 80A isolator links sources; key OFF keeps the starter isolated. This isolator design allows isolate new accessory loads so your starter stays reserved after long stops.
Secure bracket placement and clean harness routing
Use factory routing, secure with clips, and sleeve abrasion points. Use supplied hardware for clean grounds and fused distribution rather than daisy-chaining.
| Step | Action | 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 |
