below 9.6 v indicates a failed battery. For temperatures below 70°F (21°C), refer to Table 7 on
the next page for voltage. Most of these testers will specify whether the battery passed or failed
the test. This can be an ideal test for batteries used in starter applications.
3. Conductance Test: This method tests the performance of the battery based on its level of
conductance. This is a fast test and is generally the type of test that will be used by auto parts
shops. The equipment needed to perform this type of test is a hand-held electronic battery
tester. There are a variety of hand-held testers on the market and most allow the user to
program key battery parameters such as CCA and battery type. If the tester has an option for

, it should be used, otherwise AGM is suitable. Like the ½CCA Load Test, the AGM
2
battery should have an OCV of 12.6 v or higher before testing. After the electronic testing is
complete, the tester will indicate whether the battery passed or failed.

batteries are very different from standard flooded batteries that are openly vented.
These batteries operate as a sealed battery, which depend on internal recombination of battery gasses
under normal operating conditions. This means that there should be minimal corrosion of terminals
or any part of the surrounding area. It also means there is no need to ever add water to the batteries.
Opening the battery cover causes damage to the battery and voids any warranty.
PLEASE NOTE: Perform periodic inspection for case damage, loose battery hold downs, loose
connections, corrosion and container swelling.
J. VENTILATION

batteries are part of a broader category of lead acid batteries called Valve Regulated
Lead Acid (VRLA). This type of battery depends on the internal recombination of battery gasses for
proper operation. The internal valve allows for nearly 100% recombination of gasses, which means
there is no need to periodically add water.
WARNING: Any battery producing an odor or visibly venting should be removed from service.
Physically disconnect only after the area has been ventilated.
The high recombination efficiency of ODYSSEY AGM
2
batteries makes them safe for installation in
human environments. It is not uncommon to see these batteries in aircraft, hospital operating rooms
and computer rooms. The only requirement is that these batteries must not be stored, operated or
charged in a sealed or gastight enclosure. However, local regulations regarding ventilation must also
be followed.
