1. Using proper procedures as recommended by the vehicle manufacturer, carefully disconnect the cables
from your old battery and remove it from the vehicle. Return the spent battery to the battery dealer for
proper recycling.
2. Inspect existing battery cables for corrosion, acid damage or insulation deterioration. Replace if
deterioration is present.
3. Position your ODYSSEY Extreme Racing battery in the battery holder and fasten firmly to the vehicle.
4. Connect the positive cable from your ignition to the Positive (+) terminal.
5. Connect the negative cable from your engine or chassis to the Negative (-) terminal.
6. Torque the bolt, screw or nut per the specification noted in table. If you’re using the Accessory Bolt
(C), hold the Brass Post (A) with vise grips and counter torque. Do the same with General Motors

CUSTOM V-TWIN MOTORCYCLE INSTALLATIONS USING ODYSSEY EXTREME RACING
18, 20, 25 AND 35 BATTERIES
If your V-Twin motorcycle is equipped with a standard 32 amp single phase stator/alternator, the
appropriate ODYSSEY Extreme Racing battery may run out of charge after about 150 miles of riding.
To avoid this situation we strongly recommend the ODYSSEY Ultimizer™ charger model OMAX-6A-1B
for existing 32 amp equipped bikes, with the charger being operated continuously during the non-use
of the bike and/or installing a 3-phase 40 amp or higher stator/alternator, especially in new bikes.
• Prolonged storage of vehicles with fuel injection computers, alarms, GPS and other electrical devices
that require continuous battery power to support active memories; this power drain must be offset with
a maintenance-float charger, periodic charging or disconnecting the battery to prevent the establishment
of irreversible crystallized sulphation in the battery plate oxide. Failure to address this destroys battery
capacity and voids the warranty, as this is not a warranted defect in materials or workmanship.
