MAINTENANCE
ODYSSEY
®
batteries are very different from standard liquid-acid batteries that are
openly vented. The ODYSSEY battery is and operates as a sealed battery, recycling
nearly all gases internally under normal operating conditions. There is no corrosion
of the positive terminal or corrosion to the surrounding area. ODYSSEY batteries
are shipped fully charged from the factory, but prior to installation, check the battery’s
voltage to see if it is 12.65V or greater. If not, recharge it using the procedure below.
Do not charge in an air tight compartment.
Never attempt to remove the top decal cover, as it will cause the battery to fail.
CHARGING
The SOC in an ODYSSEY battery can be determined from the following chart:
