Designed to change what you can
expect from a powersports battery
Of course powersport vehicles need a powerful battery. But they also need one built to take the
constant pounding that comes with the territory, whether that territory is on land, sea, or snow.
The ODYSSEY
®
battery can handle it.
Featuring rugged construction and packed tightly with pure lead plates, the non-spillable AGM
design ODYSSEY battery protects against the shock and vibration that can quickly destroy
other batteries. And the pure lead plates mean more power—twice the overall power and
three times the life of conventional batteries—up to 400 cycles at 80% depth of discharge!
The ODYSSEY battery is the ideal choice for a complete range of powersports applications:

batteries beat spiral-wound
Compared to spiral-wound batteries of equal
size, ODYSSEY batteries pack 15% more
plate surface area into the case. Avoiding the
“dead space” between cylinders in “six-pack”
designs means ODYSSEY batteries deliver
more power and 40% more reserve capacity.
