WINTER STORAGE
ODYSSEY does not lose its charged energy during cold storage temperatures, so there is no
need to trickle or float charge during winter months. To store off-season, measure the battery
voltage to make sure it is fully charged, 12.84 volts or greater; recharge if necessary.
Disconnect the negative battery cable to prevent any applied electrical load during storage.
ODYSSEY cannot freeze down to -40°C (-40°F), -30°C (-22°F) for PC2250, so it can be left in
the vehicle. It can be stored for 2 years or more below 77°F.
A 12V, 3 amp trickle charger can also be left connected to the battery if it is kept in storage
for extended periods or if the battery is subject to parasitic loads during storage. Information
on two such chargers we recommend, including where to buy them, can be found on our
website at www.odysseyfactory.com/odycharg_c.htm.
