Sound & Performance
Odyssey "PowerPack" for all R 850/1100/1150 GS
130% more starting power compared to conventional batteries. These bat-
teries were designed specifically for BMW motorcycle use. Sold complete
with fitting kit for an easy and fast installation.
No more ABS malfunction!
As a result of the significantly
higher power, the ABS will never
fail irritatingly again. Background:
the Anti-Blocking-System only
works above a pre-set battery volt-
age. Conventional batteries quickly
reach their limits (particularly when
used for short journeys, repeated
Odyssey "LITE"
starts or journeys at night).
for all R 850/1100/1150 R
90% more starting current (in
comparison with conventional bat-
teries) and still 20% lighter than the
original.
What are the Odyssey batteries made of?
Pure lead Odyssey battery plates consist of 99.99% lead and have a signifi-
cantly larger active plate surface. The plates have to be combined into firm
power blocks in time-consuming processing stages and fitted into the very
strong case. Unlike conventional batteries (even the sealed battery types that
look similar), the electrical values are therefore at least 100% above the norm.
To our knowledge the only manufacturer supply a pure lead battery suitable
for motorcycles is Enersys with their Odyssey range.
MOTORRAD NEWS 1/2007
"....in any case the test produced many points. Furthermore the
Odyssey is spill-proof, gas-sealed, robust, maintenance free,
charges up fast, and according to the manufacturer should last for
10 years. The recommendation is given as it recovered fastest after
the exertion..."

Odyssey "PowerPack" Batteries
Trying to persuade a BMW to start up without enough
juice is virtually hopeless. We were tired of the constant
and not inexpensive replacement of batteries. Several
years ago we recognised the advantages of the Odys-
sey batteries as pioneers, as proved by their numerous
test successes.
This technology, originally developed for NASA, is
designed for extreme conditions and has since estab-
lished itself in millions of applications (alternative energy
generation, high-stress electric designs etc.). In our 10
year experience with these batteries we have never had
a failure (cold temperature, vibration, etc) and the bat-
tery withstood severe conditions without problems, even
lying on its side. We therefore see it as a highly recom-
mendable enhancement that quickly pays for itself.
Please note: The simple comparison of AH batteries is
negligible, as the high cold starting power is much more
important.
The facts :
• More than twice as high a starting performance as a conven-
tional battery.
• No ABS failure due to insufficient battery performance.
• Enormously long life (according to EUROBAT definition, 10
years and longer).
• Low self-discharge and thus no need for maintenance if the
bike is not used for a longer period (winter, etc.).
• No damage from deep discharge possible.
• Completely maintenance-free.
• Spill-proof (can be fitted on it's side, no escaping gasses (no
need for air vent tube)
• Absorbed electrolyte type battery, meaning that there is no free
acid inside the battery; all of the acid is kept absorbed in the
glass mat separators
• No more need to check the acid level.
• Unlike conventional batteries, no hydrogen is created during
charging.
• With the appropriate charger, quick charging (to 90% of the
battery's capacity) is possible in under an hour.
• Robust ABS case.
• The battery is sold "ready to go" (no initial charging needed)
Odyssey "PowerPack"
The powerhouse and serial test winner! Same dimen-
sions as the original, but with 280 Ampere starting
current (conventional 20 Ah battery has 120 ampere).
Weight: 6.2 kg; Dimensions: W/D/H: 185x79x169 mm.

Part No.: 8200003
Odyssey "LITE"
First choice for a powerful lightweight construction:
despite the small dimensions, the relevant electric val-
ues are far above those of the original. Starting current
230 Ampere (conventional 20 Ah battery only has 120
A); 13 Ah. Weight: 4.9 kg; dimensions W/D/H: 172 mm /
82 mm / 130 mm.
To fit the battery an adapter is needed due to the smaller
size, order separately.

Battery Deposit Regulation
We are legally obliged to charge a battery deposit of 7.50 euros (in Germany).
The deposit is refunded when you return a used starter battery to our business
premises. If you buy by mail order, the used battery cannot, unfortunately, be
sent back; if you submit a deposit token from a recognised collection point, we
will, of course, refund your deposit.
Odyssey + CTEK Guarantee Package
An outstanding battery is most compatible with an
outstanding charging device. When you purchase the
battery and the charging device, we therefore grant you
a 5 year warranty for both components.

Odyssey batteries
in racing and extreme applications
As a result of their robustness and reliability, Odyssey batteries are the first choice for extreme applications and in rac-
ing. For us this is always an endurance test and a confirmation at the same time: Thanks to the Odyssey battery, a
wide variety of Boxers have never let us down.

"Summary: the power station in your motorcycle. The pure lead
battery from Odyssey sets the standards in this test: a starting
current of a brilliant 300 amperes, just under 100 revs are wrested
from the starter. And that at consistently high rev speeds."
