(B) How long can the battery be stored?

ODYSSEY batteries should be fully charged prior to storage. 
Fully charged ODYSSEY batteries can be stored for up to 
24 months at 25ºC. Battery voltage naturally decreases with 
time and with increased temperature. The battery voltage 
should be checked periodically. If the battery voltage drops 
to 12.0 volts (35% state of charge) it should be recharged 
immediately to avoid permanent battery damage. The 
following can be used as a rough approximation for the 
potential storage times at different temperatures.

(C) Can the battery recover from deep discharge 
conditions?

Yes, the ODYSSEY battery can recover from extremely deep 
discharges as the following test results demonstrate.

(1) German DIN standard test for overdischarge recovery

In this test, a PC925 was discharged over 20 hours (0.05C

rate)

2

. After the discharge

2

 a 5

£

 resistor was placed across 

the battery terminals and the battery kept in storage for 28 
days. 

At the end of the storage period, the battery was charged 
at 13.5V for only 48 hours. A second 0.05C

10

 discharge 

yielded 97% of rated capacity, indicating that a low rate 
48-hour charge after such a deep discharge was insufficient; 
however, the intent of the test is to determine if the battery 
is recoverable from extremely deep discharges using only 
a standby float charger. A standard automotive charger at 
14.4V would have allowed the battery to recover greater 
than 97% of its capacity. 

These test results prove that ODYSSEY batteries can 
recover from deep discharge conditions. Reinforcing this 
conclusion is the next test, which is even harsher than the 
DIN standard test, because in this test the battery was 
stored in a discharged state at a temperature of 50°C.

(2) High temperature discharged storage test

Two PC1200 samples were discharged in this test at the 
1-hour rate to 9V per module, and then placed in storage at 
50°C for 4 weeks.

At the end of 4 weeks, the two batteries were recharged 
using a constant voltage (CV) charge at 14.7V per battery. 
As Figure 4 below shows, both samples recovered from this 
extreme case of abusive storage.

Figure 4: Recovery from high temperature discharged 
storage

Extreme cold temperature performance

High discharge rate performance in extremely cold 
conditions is another area in which ODYSSEY

®

 batteries 

excel. An example of this is shown in Figure 5. Even at 
-40°C the battery was able to support a 550A  
load for over 30 seconds before its terminal voltage  
dropped to 7.2V. 

Figure 5: CCA test @ -40°C on 31-PC2150 

Since all ODYSSEY batteries are designed similarly, one can 
expect similar outstanding cold temperature performance 
from any of the other ODYSSEY batteries.
