ODYSSEY® Benefits
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 or three full years in automotive, commercial and heavy-duty marine applications.

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). 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 FLEXIBLITY
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 sealed 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 and have endured rigorous tests that demonstrate their overall ruggedness and exceptional tolerance of mechanical abuse. BACK TO TOP
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 hurt 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 need to be recharged every six to twelve weeks the ODYSSEY battery, when fully charged, can be stored for up to 2 years at 25°C (77°F). Simply recharge and ODYSSEY is returned to full power. At lower temperatures, storage times will be even longer.
DEEP DISCHARGE RECOVERY
Should ODYSSEY become deeply discharged, simply recharge following instructions in the ODYSSEY
Owners Manual.
