ODYSSEY BATTERY FREE

Consistent use of the Ultimizer charger will assure trouble free starting power, with 4-8 years of ODYSSEY service life. Charger will not over-charge as it switchs to storage charge after recharging. Always unplug from the AC wall socket before disconnecting from battery. Always connect the charger to battery first, then plug into the AC wall socket.

ODYSSEY BATTERY FULL

Use a 12V, 6A (OBC-6A) or 12V, 12A (OBC-12A) or 12V, 20A (OBC-20A) charger to maintain ODYSSEY at full charge for maximum performance and life. They provide deep-cycle reserve and high starting power. Military design prevents shorted cells and vibration damage. Solution – ODYSSEY Batteries are a military grade design and mechanically indestructible. ODYSSEY Batteries with less than 12.40 volts cannot reliably start big inch engines. Full charged ODYSSEY battery voltage is 12.85 volts. V-twin charging systems only develop enough power to run the motorcycle until engine rpm is above 2,000, when excess power is diverted to charge the battery. The custom bike is generally a short mileage in-town rider, with insufficient driving mileage to recharge the battery. Batteries with this type of performance are at low charge levels only!Ĭause – The custom bike requires 2 ½ times the starting power of stock HD engines, but have the same size battery and same 32 amp charging system. New ODYSSEY batteries and other brands initially provide good starting power, but in a short time of use have no or poor starting power and appear to have prematurely failed.įactory analysis of warranty returned batteries indicate these batteries have not failed and do not have factory defects. The increasing popularity of the custom V-twin motorcycle with its big inch engine and high power starting requirement has introduced a new operational issue. Issue – This notice provides helpful information to the designer, manufacturer, assembler, dealer and bike owner that may have experienced a short service life with the ODYSSEY® Drycell Battery model PC 545MJ installed in Custom V-Twin motorcycles.

Sea-Doo is a registered trademark of Bombardier Recreational Products Inc. Use switch P/N 32965 from Overton’s Marine Catalog or use the 12V, 6A Odyssey Battery charger suggested above.Ĭheck your ODYSSEY battery voltage periodically for full charge, which is 12.84V. Install a waterproof disconnect switch in the negative battery cable, so the battery can be disconnected after riding. Solution – For Sea-Doo watercraft always disconnect the lanyard from its socket when not riding the watercraft. On a PC 625, 10 Ah is 59% of battery capacity. At 18 milli amps, the battery will lose 1 amp/hour of capacity in 55.5 hours or 10 amp/hours (Ah) in 23 days. These electrical loads are continuous and can accumulate to be significant over time. If the lanyard is removed, the electrical drain is 7 ma. If the lanyard is left installed the electrical drain is 18 ma after 10 minutes of shutting down the engine. Issue – This brand of watercraft experiences an electrical load on the battery during storage, caused by a control module monitoring the lanyard socket. Read on to ensure your ODYSSEY battery is at its best at all times. However, if not properly maintained, you may not get the top performance from your ODYSSEY battery. Be confident that your ODYSSEY® battery can handle it. Sea-Doo ® personal watercrafts tend to transfer an electrical load to the battery while in storage.
