WINTER SToRAGE
The ODYSSEY battery does not lose its charged energy during cold storage temperatures, so there is no
need to trickle or float charge during winter months. To store off-season, measure the battery voltage to
make sure it is fully charged, 12.84 volts or greater; recharge if necessary. Disconnect the negative battery
cable to prevent any applied electrical load during storage. The ODYSSEY battery cannot freeze down
to -40°C (-40°F), -30°C (-22°F) for PC2250, so it can be left in the vehicle. It can be stored for 2 years or
more below 77°F.
A 12V, 3 amp trickle charger can also be left connected to the battery if it is kept in storage for extended
periods or if the battery is subject to parasitic loads during storage. Information on two such chargers
we recommend, including where to buy them, can be found on our website at www.odysseybattery.com.
