    ® battery can deliver many deep discharge cycles, yet another area where the ODYSSEY battery outperforms a conventional SLI battery, which can deliver only a few deep discharge cycles. The following twenty graphs show detailed discharge characteristics of the entire ODYSSEY battery line. The end of discharge voltage in each case is 10.02V per battery or 1.67 volts per cell (VPC).

  • Page 20: Float Life

    8°C rise in battery temperature, the float life is cut in half. This means that an ODYSSEY battery that has a 10-year float life at 25°C (77°F) will have only a 5-year life at 33°C (91°F) and a 2-1/2 year float life at 41°C (106°F).
  • Page 21 Although over discharging a battery is not recommended, more than the capacity in Cycle 2. Replace the battery ODYSSEY batteries have a much higher level of tolerance if Cycle 3 capacity is less than Cycle 2 capacity. If the for this kind of abuse than traditional starting, lighting and capacity is greater than or equal to 80% of the rated ignition (SLI) batteries.
