Odyssey has taken the two most important types of batteries and made them into one. Some batteries provide enormous cranking power while other, deep cycle reserve power and Odyssey Batteries both!
Odyssey achieved this ability by using flat plates with pure unused lead. Because pure lead can be made thinner it allows them to fit more of then inside the battery giving more plate surface area and more power, twice as much as conventional batteries. Their AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat) design holds acid in place to prevent spills, even when installed on its side. And unlike conventional batteries, Odyssey Batteries can be stored for up to 2 years and still be returned to full power.
The batteries in our boats can really take a beating when trying to crank large motors, run several livewell pumps at the same time in addition to powering gps, sonar, radar, and stereo. This can cause traditional batteries to take an intense strain and not only need to be charged more often, but shorten the expected life of the battery. Now having the combination of a high power cranking and deep cycle battery allows us to only need a maximum of three batteries in our boats, which in the past our larger boats needed 4 in most cases.
Odyssey has taken batteries to a new high of power and reliability.
Frequently Asked Questions
Odyssey Batteries combine the high cranking power and deep cycle reserve power into one battery by using flat plates made of pure unused lead. This design allows more plates to be fitted inside the battery, providing twice the power of conventional batteries. Additionally, their Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM) design holds acid in place to prevent spills and extends storage life up to two years without losing power.
The AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat) design in Odyssey Batteries holds the acid in place, preventing spills even if the battery is installed on its side. This design also contributes to a longer lifespan and safer handling compared to traditional flooded batteries.
Boats often require batteries that can handle large motor cranking power and simultaneously power multiple devices like livewell pumps, GPS, sonar, radar, and stereo. Odyssey Batteries provide both high cranking and deep cycle power, reducing strain, minimizing the number of batteries needed, and extending battery life compared to traditional batteries.
Yes, Odyssey Batteries can be stored for up to two years without losing their full power. This is largely due to their AGM construction and pure lead plates which reduce self-discharge and enhance longevity.
Using pure unused lead allows the plates to be made thinner, enabling more plates to fit inside the battery. This increases the plate surface area, which directly results in greater power output—twice as much as conventional batteries.
With the combined cranking and deep cycle power of Odyssey Batteries, larger boats typically need a maximum of three batteries, whereas in the past they often required four to meet power demands.
