Why Odyssey? The ODYSSEY is the world’s leading dry cell
battery. It represents the ultimate in battery technology, yet due to
its long life offers a cost effective alternative to conventional batteries.
The ODYSSEY is unbeatable for performance and reliability and is smaller,
lighter and more powerful than other batteries.
The ODYSSEY battery combines 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 were 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.
Features
Absorbed glass mat (AGM) technology. Safe and robust. No liquid acid.
Superior to gel batteries
2 year full replacement warranty as standard. Unique to Odyssey batteries
- industry's best warranty.
8-12 year service life. Three times longer than a standard battery.
200% to 300% more cranking power (quick discharge design). Ideal for
high compression and large engines even at extreme cold temperatures
The cranking power of ODYSSEY batteries is double to triple that of
conventional batteries, even at extreme cold temperatures.
Maintenance free.
Drycell sealed technology.
No spills or fumes. Won’t rot your pride and joy! The absorbed
glass mat (AGM) valve regulated design of the ODYSSEY battery means
there is no acid to spill out and cause acid burns or damage to expensive
paint and chrome. Because of the starved electrolyte design the US Department
of Transportation has classified the ODYSSEY battery as a dry battery.
Posted direct to your door ready to fit and use. Arrives ready charged
and raring to go! All ODYSSEY batteries are posted fully charged. Simply
install it in your vehicle and use. Shipping an ODYSSEY battery by ground
or air freight is no problem as they are classified as a dry battery.
Very low self discharge, long storage life (2 years). Ideal for vehicles
that may be laid up for extended periods, such as classic bikes and
cars. Unlike conventional batteries that require a recharge every 6
to 12 weeks, the ODYSSEY battery can be stored for up to 2 years from
a fully charged state.
Minus 40 to plus 70 centigrade operating range.
Guaranteed Shock & Vibration Proof. ODYSSEY batteries have endured
rigorous tests that demonstrate their overall ruggedness and exceptional
tolerance to mechanical abuse.
Mount in any position - any place. Adaptable and versatile. Your ODYSSEY
battery can be installed in any orientation; it does not affect any
of its performance characteristics (though inverted installation is
not recommended).
Deep cycle design. Will run flat with no ill effects. The ODYSSEY
battery can easily and repeatedly recover from deep discharges. Conventional
SLI batteries have extreme difficulty recovering from similar situations.
Also, if constant voltage charging is used, no limit on the charge current
is necessary and these batteries can be brought to a very high state
of charge in less than an hour.
No catastrophic failure. Unlike conventional SLI batteries your ODYSSEY
battery will not fail catastrophically but rather loose power gradually
allowing you an opportunity to recover the situation.
