READY OUT OF THE BOX
ODYSSEY batteries are shipped fully charged. If the ODYSSEY battery's voltage is 12.65V
or greater, simply install the battery in your vehicle and you are ready to go! If below
12.65V, boost charge following the instructions in the ODYSSEY battery Owner’s Manual
and/or Technical Manual. Putting a boost on the battery will not damage it, even if its
voltage reads higher than 12.65V.
WORRY-FREE SHIPPING
Owing to the drycell design, the US Department of Transportation (USDOT) has
classified the ODYSSEY battery as a nonspillable, so it may be shipped worry-free
by express service or by air. Please see our SDS for complete details at
www.odysseybattery.com.
LONGER STORAGE LIFE
Unlike conventional batteries that require a recharge every six to 12 weeks, the ODYSSEY
battery can be stored for up to two years at 77ºF (25ºC) from a fully charged state. These
batteries can be stored for two years or until the open circuit voltage (OCV) drops to
12.00V, whichever comes first.
DEEP DISCHARGE RECOVERY
Should the ODYSSEY battery become deeply discharged, simply recharge following
instructions in this manual.
INSTALLATION
Your ODYSSEY battery is normally ready to install right out of the box! Measure
the battery voltage; if it is 12.65V or greater, install; if less, then refer to the
charging section.
