Run light bars, audio, GPS, and cabin heat while keeping the starter untouched. Accessory power remains steady for sensitive gear, cutting dimming and dips during spikes.
Confident cranks with stock starting kept intact
Because the isolator protects the stock cell, your engine still cranks strong after a full night of electronics.
- Reserve capacity: Gain additional amp-hours for big-draw accessories during long rides.
- Less wear: Accessory offload eases stress on starter circuits and components.
- Automatic management: Automatic behavior via key position; no manual switch needed.

Component | Role | Benefit |
---|---|---|
Secondary AGM cell | Provides extra amp hours | Keeps starter ready while running accessories |
80A isolator relay | Controls charge/isolation | Stops accessory drain on starter |
Model harness | Connects components | Easier installs and service access |
Distribution block & hardware | Clean 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. The complete package integrates with existing charge and accessory circuits so routing stays organized and reliable.
Straightforward Installation
Simple installation keeps you trail-ready without losing hours in the garage.
Start with a clear workspace and the labeled parts laid out before you. Mount the bracket, place the second cell, and route the harness to labeled terminals.
Key Position Behavior Made Simple
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.
Solid bracket placement with tidy harness routing
Route the harness along factory paths, secure it with clips, and add abrasion protection at pinch points. Supplied hardware enables clean grounds and fused feeds—avoid daisy-chains.
Step | What to do | Reason |
---|---|---|
Mount bracket | Bolt into reinforced points | Maintains clamp load under vibration |
Place 2nd cell | Seat battery and clamp firmly | Keeps terminals safe and serviceable |
Connect harness | Connect labeled leads/fuse points | Makes upgrades and diagnostics easier |

Charging, Performance, and Long-Term Maintenance
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 with better performance for amps, winches, and high-output lights. A dedicated auxiliary AGM reduces spike-related dips, keeping audio clean and lights bright.
Use a charger/maintainer to prevent sulfation
Regular charging with a quality maintainer prevents sulfation, which is the leading cause of capacity loss in agm battery designs. UTV Stereo recommends topping between trips to preserve capacity and extend life.
- Stock battery health is preserved by isolating starter power Key OFF.
- Running engine alternator replenishes reserves for efficient recharge on long rides.
- Sealed, vibration-resistant AGM design curbs damage over rough terrain.
Area | Benefit | Action |
---|---|---|
Performance | Stable voltage under load | Use a new secondary agm to support high-draw accessories |
Charging | Lower long-term capacity loss | Use a quality charger/maintainer between rides |
Long-term care | Extended service life | Pair sealed cells with routine maintenance charging |
Tip: Keep a suitable maintainer handy to stay topped up. That reduces surprises and helps preserve next-morning starts on every trip.
