WINTER SToRAGE
The ODYSSEY
®
Extreme Racing™ battery 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. The ODYSSEY
Extreme Racing battery cannot freeze down to -40°C (-40°F), 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. The trickle charge voltage measured at
the battery terminals must be between 13.5V and 13.8V. We recommend using the ODYSSEY
®
Ultimizer™
charger for your battery. For more information on these chargers, including where to buy them, can be
found on our website at www.odysseybattery.com.
