Plate Pure Lead (TPPL) technology to deliver twice the power and three times the life of conventional AGM batteries. Bringing together the technologies incorporated into ODYSSEY batteries and NorthStar batteries has integrated years of intelligence, research and development, resulting in the creation of the next generation of AGM - TPPL batteries.
ODYSSEY batteries can be installed on their side or end if needed due to space constraints. NOTE: This is a valve regulated sealed battery and never needs to have water or electrolyte (acid) added.
ANY OF THE FOLLOWING WILL VOID THE WARRANTY ON YOUR ODYSSEY BATTERY: ® • REMOVING THE LABELED COVER • REMOVING OR DESTROYING THE BATTERY’S DATE CODE ODYSSEY EXTREME BATTERY WARNING – DO NOT USE ANY TYPE OF OIL, ORGANIC SOLVENT, ® ALCOHOL, DETERGENT, STRONG ACIDS, STRONG ALKALIS, PETROLEUM-BASED SOLVENT OR AMMONIA SOLUTION TO CLEAN THE BATTERY COVERS AND BATTERY TOPS. THESE MATERIALS MAY CAUSE PERMANENT DAMAGE TO THE BATTERY COVERS AND BATTERY TOPS AND WILL VOID THE WARRANTY. ODYSSEY PERFORMANCE BATTERY WARNING – PROLONGED EXPOSURE AND OR IMMERSION ® INTO ANY TYPE OF OIL, ORGANIC SOLVENT, ALCOHOL, DETERGENT, STRONG ACIDS, STRONG ALKALIS, PETROLEUM-BASED SOLVENT OR AMMONIA SOLUTION TO CLEAN THE BATTERY COVERS AND BATTERY TOPS MAY CAUSE PERMANENT DAMAGE TO THE BATTERY COVERS AND BATTERY TOPS AND WILL VOID THE WARRANTY. DO NOT SHORT CIRCUIT YOUR ODYSSEY BATTERY’S TERMINALS! ® Remove any metallic items such as watches, bracelets and other personal jewelry.
C. BATTERY CABLING Since battery cables are the connection between the battery, the charging system and the device being powered, it is important that they are properly installed. Improperly installed cables can result in poor battery performance, terminal damage or even fire. Cables should be sized based on the amount of c urrent they are expected to carry in the application. Refer to Table 1 for cable current ratings according to NEC Table 310.15(B)16 for copper cables rated at 167°F (75°C). If it is necessary for a cable to be longer than six feet, a heavier gauge wire should be considered to avoid excessive voltage drop.
95°F (35°C) freshening charge is required. Cooler 113°F (45°C) temperatures slow down the rate of Table 5 self-discharge. A good rule of thumb to use is that for every 18°F (10°C) rise in temperature the storage time is cut in half. This means that the storage time at 95°F (35°C) is half the storage time at 77°F (25°C). I f stored at 77°F (25°C) or lower, ODYSSEY batteries should be given a freshening charge at ® least once every two years or when the OCV drops to about 12.2 volts, whichever comes first.

Since ODYSSEY batteries are dual purpose by design, they offer a long-life battery option in ® float applications. At room temperature (77°F (25°C)), these batteries have a design life of 10+ years in float applications.
RVs. These chargers are not suitable for recharging ODYSSEY AGM batteries that have been deeply discharged. However, they are suitable for maintaining batteries at a full SOC, provided the float voltage setting is appropriate.

The standard A/C charger normally used by the system can then be connected to the battery that needs to be charged. Please refer to “Procedure to Recover Deeply Discharged ODYSSEY Batteries” found on www.odysseybattery.com for more details.

12V MOTOR VEHICLE & CONNECTION Battery Sketch 3 24V Parallel Connection To power a 24-volt trolling motor, you will need to connect two ODYSSEY batteries in a series. As ® shown in Battery Sketch 4, the negative of Battery 1 is wired to the positive of Battery 2. Hook up the positive terminal of Battery 1 to the positive terminal of your trolling motor and the negative terminal of Battery 2 to the negative terminal of the trolling motor.
36V Parallel Connection T o power a 36-volt trolling motor, you will need to connect three ODYSSEY batteries in series. As shown in Battery Sketch 5, the negative of Battery 1 is wired to the positive of Battery 2; the negative of Battery 2 is then connected to the positive of Battery 3. Finally, hook up the positive terminal of Battery 1 to the positive terminal of your trolling motor and the negative terminal of Battery 3 to the negative terminal of the trolling motor. BATTERY 1 BATTERY 2 BATTERY 3 36V MOTOR Battery Sketch 5 G. PARASITIC LOADS I n many cases batteries that are apparently at rest may be supplying a small amount of current to connected equipment such as radios, clocks and security systems, to name just a few examples.
I. MAINTENANCE ODYSSEY batteries are very different from standard flooded batteries that are openly vented. ® These batteries operate as a sealed battery, which depend on internal recombination of battery gasses under normal operating conditions.
However, local regulations regarding ventilation must also be followed. K. Winter Storage The ODYSSEY battery does not lose its charged energy during cold storage temperatures, so there is no need to trickle or float charge during winter months. To store off-season, measure the battery voltage to make sure it is fully charged, 12.84 volts or greater; recharge if necessary. Disconnect the negative battery cable to prevent any applied electrical load during storage. The ODYSSEY battery cannot freeze down to -40°F (-40°C), so it can be left in the vehicle. It can be stored for two years or...
Because the discharge is for such a short time, it is more like a pulse. The low impedance of ODYSSEY battery technology allows them to maintain a higher voltage for more starter pulses, resulting in less heating of starter motors and cables. Higher power output results in a faster start.
What is Reserve Capacity (RC) rating? The RC of a battery is the number of minutes it can support a 25-ampere load at 80°F (27°C) before its voltage drops to 10.50 for a 12-volt battery. A 12-volt battery with a reserve capacity rating of 100 will deliver 25 amps for 100 minutes at 80°F (27°C) before its voltage drops to 10.5. What is the short-circuit current of these batteries? Typically thousands of amps. As mentioned before, the AGM batteries have a very low internal resistance, which means that the short circuit current is very high.
