I. INTRODUCTION

   

 ODYSSEY

®

 brand batteries are manufactured by EnerSys

®

 using its unique AGM Thin Plate Pure Lead 

(TPPL) technology to deliver twice the power and three-times the life of conventional AGM batteries.

   

 The recent integration of ODYSSEY Battery and NorthStar Battery brought together years of  
intelligence and research and development, resulting in the creation of the next generation of AGM - 
TPPL batteries. AGM

2

 is a unique design of Valve Regulated Lead Acid (VRLA) batteries that combines 

three major technical advancements in one battery: super high-grade mat refined chemical 
f Thin Plate Pure Lead (TPPL) technology. This sets AGM

2

 batteries apart in terms of power, 

fast-charge acceptance, shelf-life, durability and most of all exceptional value for your investment.

  

 This technology allows one battery package to provide both excellent cycling life and high-power 
capability for many applications. AGM

2

 batteries excel in both starting and deep cycle applications 

without compromising lifespan or performance.  

  

 Throughout their design cycle life, AGM

2

 batteries can provide engine cranking pulses of up to 2700 

amps for 5 seconds at 77°F (25°C), while delivering over 400 charge/discharge cycles to 80% Depth of 
Discharge (DOD). This challenges all typical starting batteries, which are only designed for high current 
for short durations, so perform poorly when deeply discharged repeatedly.    

  

 Likewise, a typical deep cycle battery, which is designed to provide relatively low current for a long 
duration of time, cannot provide the high current bursts that are needed for starting applications.  

  

 AGM

2

 batteries can do both tasks, making them an excellent choice for a wide range of applications 

such as heavy-duty trucks, recreational vehicles, marine, emergency power and much more.

 AGM

 BATTERIES?

  

  •  Long service life – design life of 8-12 years in float applications and 3-10 years in non-float  

applications at 77°F (25°C).  

  

  •  Fast charging – extremely low internal resistance allows high-current charging, which reduces 

charge time.

  

  • Excellent cycle life – provide up to 900 cycles when discharged 50%.

  

  • Low temperature performance – even at sub-zero temperatures down to -40°F (-40°C), battery  

 

    performance allows for quick engine starts or deep discharges.

  

  • Long shelf life – can be stored for up to 2 years at 77°F (25°C) and longer at lower temperatures.  

  

  •  Deep discharge recovery – it is possible to recover a deeply discharged AGM

2

 battery. There is   

more information on that process later in this manual. However, overall battery life will be affected.

  

  • Virtually maintenance-free – no need to add water to batteries.

  

  •  Superior vibration resistance – high compression design and high-strength plastic construction 

give these batteries extreme shock and vibration resistance.

  

  •  Mounting flexibility – can be mounted in any position except inverted/upside down in typical  

starting applications.

  

  • Easy shipping – approved for shipment as non-hazardous cargo by the U.S. Department of  

    Transportation.

  

  •  Made in the U.S. and European manufacturing facilities – the management systems governing the 

manufacture of this product are IATF 16949, ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certified.
