EnerSys has rebranded its existing line of Odyssey batteries as Odyssey Extreme Series batteries to differentiate between the existing product line and the company’s new Performance Series line, which is designed for consumer applications.
Odyssey Extreme Series batteries are designed for demanding applications, such as emergency response vehicles, transit buses and race cars. The pulse-hot cranking amps (PHCA), CCA and RC ratings are substantially higher than those of conventional automotive batteries, the maker added.
Extreme Series absorbed glass mat (AGM) batteries feature thin-plate, pure lead (TPPL) technology, providing more surface area for greater power. TPPL technology enables the batteries to provide reliable starting, lighting and ignition, as well as deep cycling for parasitic loads, such as computers for fuel-injection systems, EnerSys said.
Odyssey Extreme Series batteries offer a three- to 10-year service life and storage of up to two years without recharging. Welded intercell connections enable them to withstand extreme vibration, and their AGM design eliminates spills, enabling them to be installed in any position except inverted, the maker added.
