Dual Battery Kit for the Polaris RZR 1000 Installation Instructions 

Engineered Adapters Great tip!

I'm not sure what you mean by sloppy. If you're having trouble, please feel free to contact us for help.

The red light stays on to indicate the batteries are still fully charged and connected until they drop below 12.7v for 1 minute, then the isolator automatically separates them. Here's a video with more details on that - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nRfTcgbDALM.html

Jeff P Hi Jeff, that definitely does not sound normal. Give us a call and we’ll run some tests to try to figure out what’s happening to you batteries.

It's OK. I got rid of the your system and got a different isolator. Sorry it didn't work. Was costing me too much to maintain.

+Eddy Stocker Certainly we do sell direct through our website - www.genesisoffroad.com/Polaris-RZR-1000-dual-battery-kit-p/152-pr1000dbk.htm At this time I am not aware of anyone else offering a complete dual battery kit solution for the RZR 1000. Your next option would be to source the components and build the wires yourself.

Glad to help!

I think we talked on the phone this morning, but the most important thing is to get the correct physical size. Our brackets are designed to work with the PC925 size batteries so they will line up with some factory mounting points. You may be able to get some traditional lead acid batteries that are less expensive than the Odyssey deep cycle ones. Just remember that lead acid batteries do not like being drained down and then recharged - that will reduce its lifespan.

I believe the battery compartment area on that model is the same as shown here. If you run into any sort of fitment issues, you can return the kit for a full refund.

Hey Rick, is it possible to get Battery Mart to swap those out for the correct model? All the wires would line up so much better! To connect a charger, hook it directly to your cranking battery's posts (the one by the door). This way, once the charger has topped off the cranking battery, the isolator will link the 2 batteries together, and your charger will flow through the isolator to top off the aux battery as well.

I'll give Battery Mart a call to see if they will do that.Thanks. Rick

It allows you to run your aftermarket accessories with the engine off without draining your cranking battery. You can jump start yourself from the second battery if the cranking battery is too low by simply pressing the boost button. It also gives you the power & ground bus bars as a convenient spot to connect accessories without stacking up a bunch of wires on the battery post clamp.

+Eddie Regory Thanks! We haven't test fit this with a 900 yet, but that is on the to-do list soon!

Sorry for the delay, but we do have confirmation that our kit does fit the RZR 900 perfectly!

yes

Rick Hood hey Rick, the white wire is for a remote status indicator. It's like an extension of the red led on top of the isolator. You can extend that white wire to one side of an led, and run the other side to 12v positive. The light will be on when the batteries are linked together, and off when the batteries are isolated (cranking battery below 12.7v for one minute).

Thanks

+Eddy Stocker Unfortunately the stock battery won't work because the battery posts are in the wrong orientation. We tried to make it work, but there is just not enough room for everything to line up. You'll need to use the regular PC925 to get the posts in the correct orientation. Also, the stock battery is lead acid, which is not designed for deep cycle applications. If you plan to run your accessories with the engine off, you will need to run deep cycle AGM batteries for the best performance. Draining and recharging a lead acid battery will reduce its overall life span. Hope this info helps!

Yeah on some models that factory positive wire is tight. Some customers have reported that they were able to get inside the center console area and clip a zip tie which allowed them to gain a little more slack on that wire to reach the battery easier. Try that and let me know if that works for you!

It sounds like you're running into the limits of the stock charging system. The factory stator can only produce somewhere around 50 amps, and the majority of that gets used by the stock components to run the vehicle. The extra capacity can be used to run your aftermarket accessories, but if you are consuming more than the stator can provide, then the excess will come from the batteries. Our dual battery system will spread the demand across the 2 batteries so they share the load, but if you're steadily using more power than the stator can provide, then you'll be draining the batteries. In this case, you'd need to look into an upgraded stator, or simply run fewer accessories at the same time. Hope this helps!

@@GenesisOffroad so since I have 2 batteries already and instead of the batteries being parallel together. Would it help if I get a isalotar and which one or if I need to upgrade the strator which one do you recommend

You can connect a charger to your factory positive wire on the cranking battery (by the door) and the factory negative wire on the aux battery (by the center console). This way the trickle charger works just like your alternator - it will charge the cranking battery first for a couple minutes, then the smart isolator links the batteries together to charge the aux battery as well.

Hi Steve, the red light is a status indicator. The light will be on when the batteries are connected, and off when they are isolated.

What does that mean? What determines when the batteries are isolated and when they are together?

Steve Shaw i’ve got two brand new odyssey batteries and Brand new kit all connected is the light supposed to come on when I start the Polaris?

it is all about storage of watts, and weight, 2 batteris have more than one and less weight

@@wraith511802003 Actually it's about ISOLATION - can run auxiliary battery completely down and still be able to start off primary battery

Actually it's about ISOLATION - can run auxiliary battery completely down and still be able to start off primary battery

If you want to build it DIY go figure that out yourself. It's only $300 ish dollars. Don't be cheap and forget about the many hours of R&D these guys had to put into this.

+Frank Sanna Thanks Frank! This kit is $339. We keep these kits in stock for immediate shipping. You can order directly on our website here - www.genesisoffroad.com/Polaris-RZR-1000-dual-battery-kit-p/152-pr1000dbk.htm

The red light will turn on when the smart isolator sees your cranking battery above 13.2v for 2 minutes, to indicate the batteries are connected together and they are both being charged by the alternator. They will remain connected until they drop below approx. 12.7v for 1 minute, then the smart isolator will automatically separate the batteries and the light will turn off.

That would only happen if your accessories are using more power than the alternator/stator can provide. If that happens, the excess power needs will come from the batteries. Since our kit has 2 batteries, you'll be draining down both at the same time, but only until they drop to 12.7v. At that point the smart isolator will separate the batteries. Your accessories connected to our bus bars will continue to run from the aux battery only, and the engine will be charging up your cranking battery. Once the cranking battery is above 13.2v for 2 minutes, the smart isolator will reconnect them to start charging the aux battery. If your accessories are constantly using a large amount of current, such as a big stereo system for example, then you'd eventually drain down that aux battery. You would notice the accessories start to shut down though. Remember, our system is designed to protect the cranking battery from being drained down by your accessories, so even if that aux battery goes dead, you'll still be able to start the engine.

Sorry, we do not have dual battery systems for 4 wheelers. Does that model have room to add a second battery?

hey guys. I'm in the same boat man. I need extra juice on my Sportsman 1000. I know there is room under the seat for the accessory battery. I don't mind the batteries not being next to each other. Cant this still work with longer cables? Its essentially the same thing yes?

You might be able to get a little extra slack on the battery cables - look up inside the center console area, sometimes the cables are secured with a zip tie. You may be able to cut that zip tie and get a few more inches of slack. Hope this helps!

The battery compartment area is different on the General, so no, it is not a direct fit. However, we have had a couple customers use our RZR kit in a General, it just takes some customization to make it work. If you're interested in seeing how they did it, you can email shane@genesisoffroad.com and ask for pictures of the RZR kit in the General. Thanks!

Yes! This kit works for the 2 door as well as the 4 door, all models of the 900 and 1000 RZR. We have plenty in stock if you'd like to get one coming!

Mason Berry there is roughly 1/2” or so of clearance from the top of the smart isolator to the bottom of the stock seat. If you run into any clearance issues you can return the kit for a full refund.

@@GenesisOffroad you guys are AWESOME. ordering now!!!

Mason Berry Thank you! We have kits in stock for fast shipping!

Your probably not wired in series. Pos to pos negative to negative

Definitely not normal. For tech support, please email info@genesisoffroad.com or give us a call - 901-214-5337.

@@justinclark1348 They need to be wired in parallel, not series. Series would create a 24v system (bad). Parallel would keep it 12 volts (good).

Because they are trash!

+Eddy Stocker Hmm, not sure what you mean by back and front. On the RZR 1000, the batteries are side by side. Feel free to send me a picture of your setup and I'll be glad to talk about it - info@genesisoffroad.com

ok

Yes, this kit will fit your vehicle.

RZR Daze I always say if you have the time, the tools, and the skills to spec out a dual battery system and wire it all up yourself, that’s awesome! Our system is for people who want a drop in solution that is all pre-wired for easy installation.

@@GenesisOffroad I get that and don't fault you for making a buck. I just think you overshot your ideal price point. I bet you would sell a lot more at $199. Just my personal opinion. Value is defined by the customer. If they are happy with the quality and don't mind paying $340, then everybody wins.

Hi Kevin, we have received reports from a few customers that their factory ground wire was a bit shorter than the one shown in the video, as you mentioned. We have found that there is a wire retainer and zip tie under the center console that prevents that ground wire from coming out far enough. You should be able to reach in there and remove the zip tie to free up a few inches of slack on that wire. We had one customer who still didn't have quite enough length, so he notched the hole where the ground wire goes into the center console area by about an inch, and that gave him the needed slack. I hope these tips help! Feel free to email shane@genesisoffroad.com or call 901-214-5337 with any other concerns!
