INTRODUCTION
The ODYSSEY™ battery ingeniously uses absorbed glass mat (AGM) technology to offer, in
one box, the characteristics of two separate batteries. It can deep cycle as well as provide
enormous cranking power - it is almost as if a champion long distance runner and a world
class sprinter are one and the same person.
These batteries are capable of providing engine cranking pulses in excess of 2250A for
5 seconds as well as 400 charge/discharge cycles to 80% depth of discharge (DOD). A typical
starting, lighting and ignition (SLI) battery can do one or the other, but not both. It is either a
sprinter or a long distance runner; ODYSSEY batteries will do both — provide short duration
high amperage pulse or low rate long duration drains.
WHY USE ODYSSEY BATTERIES?
GUARANTEED LONGER SERVICE LIFE
With an eight to twelve year design life (float) and a three to ten year service life, ODYSSEY
saves you time and money because you do not have to replace the battery as often. ODYSSEY
is warranted against factory defects for two full years in powersports, three full years in
automotive, commercial and heavy-duty marine applications and, in the case of the PC1500/34,
PC1500/34M, PC1500/34-78, PC1700/65, PC2150/31 and PC2250 batteries, four years in all
applications. Since actual warranty can vary with your geographical location, please check with
your ODYSSEY representative for the warranty specific to your application.
SUPERIOR CRANKING AND FAST CHARGE CAPABILITY
The 5 second cranking power of ODYSSEY batteries is double to triple that of equally sized
conventional batteries, even when the temperature is as low as - 40°C (-40°F), -30°C (-22°F) for
PC2250. Also, with simple constant voltage charging (alternator or independent charger), there
is no limitation on the inrush current, so the user is assured of fast charge recovery.
MOUNTING FLEXIBILITY
The ODYSSEY battery may be installed in any orientation (except inverted) without sacrificing
any performance attributes. There is no fear of any acid spillage as ODYSSEY recycles the
internal gas during operation or charging. The valve regulated design of the ODYSSEY battery
eliminates the need for an acid vent tube; eliminating the fear of acid burns or damage to
expensive chrome or paint.
SUPERIOR VIBRATION RESISTANCE
ODYSSEY batteries are of military grade technology and have endured rigorous tests that
demonstrate their overall ruggedness and exceptional tolerance of mechanical abuse.
READY OUT OF THE BOX
ODYSSEY batteries are shipped fully charged. If ODYSSEY’S voltage is 12.65V or greater,
simply install the battery in your vehicle and you are ready to go! If below 12.65V, boost
charge following the instructions in the ODYSSEY Owner’s Manual and/or Technical Manual.
Putting a boost on the battery will not damage it, even if its voltage reads higher than 12.65V.
WORRY-FREE SHIPPING
Owing to the drycell design, the US Department of Transportation (USDOT) has classified the
ODYSSEY battery as a nonspillable, so it may be shipped worry-free by express service or by
air.
LONGER STORAGE LIFE
Unlike conventional batteries that require a recharge every six to twelve weeks, the ODYSSEY
battery can be stored for up to two years at 25ºC (77ºF) from a fully charged state. These
batteries can be stored for two years or when the open circuit voltage (OCV) drops to 12.00V,
whichever comes first.
DEEP DISCHARGE RECOVERY
Should ODYSSEY become deeply discharged, simply recharge following instructions in this
manual.
