With an eight to twelve year design life (float) and a three to ten year service life, ODYSSEY

batteries save you time and money because you do not have to replace the battery as often. ODYSSEY
Extreme Racing batteries are warranted against factory defects for three (3) years.
SUPERIoR CRANkING AND FAST CHARGE CAPABILITY
The 5 second cranking power of ODYSSEY Extreme Racing batteries is double to triple that of equally sized
conventional batteries, even when the temperature is as low as - 40°C (-40°F). Also, with simple constant
voltage charging (alternator or independent charger), there is no limitation on the inrush current, so the user
is assured of fast charge recovery.
MoUNTING FLEXIBILITY
The ODYSSEY Extreme Racing battery may be installed in any orientation (except inverted) without sacrificing
any performance attributes. There is no fear of any acid spillage as ODYSSEY Extreme Racing batteries recycle
the internal gas during operation or charging. The valve regulated design of the ODYSSEY Extreme Racing
battery eliminates the need for an acid vent tube; eliminating the fear of acid burns or damage to expensive
chrome or paint.
SUPERIoR VIBRATIoN RESISTANCE
ODYSSEY Extreme Racing batteries are of military grade technology and have endured rigorous tests that
demonstrate their overall ruggedness and exceptional tolerance of mechanical abuse.
READY oUT oF THE BoX
ODYSSEY Extreme Racing batteries are shipped fully charged. If the ODYSSEY Extreme Racing 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 Extreme Racing 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
Extreme Racing battery as nonspillable, so it may be shipped worry-free by express service or by air.
LoNGER SToRAGE LIFE
Unlike conventional batteries that require a recharge every six to twelve weeks, the ODYSSEY Extreme Racing
battery can be stored for up to two years at 25ºC (77ºF) from a fully charged state. These batteries can be
stored for two years or when the open circuit voltage (OCV) drops to 12.00V, whichever comes first.
DEEP DISCHARGE RECoVERY
Should the ODYSSEY Extreme Racing battery become deeply discharged, simply recharge following
instructions in this manual.
