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°F (-40°C), -22°F (-30°C) for PC2250,
so it can be left in the vehicle. It can be stored for 2 years or more below 77°F (25°C). Charging is required at 2 years
or 12V, whichever comes first.
A 12V, 2 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. The trickle charge voltage measured at the battery terminals must be
between 13.5V and 13.8V. We recommend using the ODYSSEY Ultimizer™ charger for your battery. For more information
on these chargers, including where to buy them, can be found on our website at www.odysseybattery.com.

36V BATTERY CONNECTION
To power a 36V trolling motor, you will need to connect three ODYSSEY batteries in series. As shown in the bottom
illustration, the negative of Battery 1 is wired to the positive of Battery 2; the negative of Battery 2 is then connected
to the positive of Battery 3. Finally, hook up the positive terminal of Battery 1 to the positive terminal of your trolling
motor and the negative terminal of Battery 3 to the negative terminal of the trolling motor.
