Frequently Asked Questions

Does it regulate amperage or prevent overcharging?
No. The UTV-SBI-18 does not regulate amperage—that’s handled by your voltage regulator and stator/alternator. It simply controls when the second battery is connected to the charging system.
This is normal behavior. The LED indicates the isolator is still connected. To test disconnection, briefly turn on the headlights—the LED should turn off, confirming the isolator has opened the circuit.
Yes. The kit includes 3M Dual Lock™, allowing you to mount the unit securely without screws. It can also be left suspended if preferred.
The kit uses an intelligent battery isolator with PEP® (Power Excursion Protection) technology. This ensures the main battery is prioritized for starting, while the auxiliary battery powers accessories

 

Yes. The UTV-SBI-18 is specifically engineered for stator-based UTV systems, ensuring efficient charging without overloading the system.

🔧 Core Features

Key Features of the UTV-SBI-18 with PEP®

– Smart Voltage Sensing (PEP® Technology)
Automatically connects and disconnects the auxiliary battery based on voltage thresholds. It engages at 13.4V and disconnects at 12.8V, ensuring the starter battery is always protected.

– Purpose-Built for UTVs
Unlike generic isolators, this unit is engineered from the ground up for stator-based UTV charging systems, making it ideal for Polaris, Can-Am, Yamaha, and other side-by-sides.

– Compact & Rugged Design
Features a smaller, stronger housing with improved stud placement, allowing for easier cable routing and installation in tight spaces.

– No Manual Switching Required
Fully automatic operation—no need for toggle switches or user input. It intelligently manages charging between the main and auxiliary batteries.

– LED Status Indicator
Built-in LED provides real-time feedback on isolator status (connected/disconnected), helping users verify system behavior at a glance.
– 3M Dual Lock™ Mounting System
Allows for tool-free, vibration-resistant mounting—no drilling required. The unit can also be suspended if preferred.

– Ambidextrous Terminal Design
Either terminal can connect to either battery, eliminating installation errors and simplifying wiring.

– Low Standby Current Draw
Draws less than 0.01A when idle, preserving battery life during storage or low-usage periods.

– DIY-Friendly Kit
Includes pre-terminated cables, ground wire, insulators, and clear instructions—ideal for both enthusiasts and professional installers.

This isolator is especially valuable for UTV owners running winches, sound systems, lighting, or GPS units off a second battery, ensuring the main battery remains ready to start the engine.

7 reviews for True® UTV Battery Isolator Kit with PEP UTV-SBI-18

  1. William Parke –

    Just added an auxiliary battery to my Honda Pioneer 1000.
    This is working great and was easy to install.
    I like being able to charge both batteries with 1 battery tender.
    I have dual battery gauges so it’s easy to see both batteries are being charged.
    when running accessories I can see the isolator is working when the engine is not running only the auxiliary battery voltage is drawn down and the main battery is unaffected . Charges both when running as it should.

    I had purchased an Aopec smart battery isolator before and had nothing but problems with it so I was hesitant to purchase another even though it was a different company simply because of how these work. Well I broke down and ordered this one for my Polaris Ranger and after installing it just works, Have been using it for two weeks now without any issues. It is also smaller and takes up less space.

    Easy to install and wire. Works as described. It is a must have if you run a second battery on your side by side

  6. Vince Amazon –

    A very good decision

    Best battery charging and isolation management choice in the market. I have soaked it and covered with mud during trail riding and the waterproof casing works well. The price is competitive for this single unit.

  7. True Customer –

    Perfect for replacement for my old dual battery isolator installed in my Honda pioneer 1000-5
