 |
|
A note on Odyssey technology. They tell me this applies to the smaller
batteries as well but this specific comparison is on their fleet battery.
Odyssey designs what they term a "initial pulse discharge" ability into the
battery so that you get significantly improved CCA for the first few seconds
which they claim is one of the reasons that their batteries start better.
Discharge over time is also significantly improved. Not all batteries are
designed this way.
If you look at the attached charts, you can see the comparison of initial
discharge rates compared to other competitive batteries. In particular, the
OPTIMA series which is a true "gel" cell "shoot it with a rifle and still
crank the car" battery. OPTIMA is a great battery, just too heavy for our
purposes but the Odyssey is better. No comparison at all to the lead acid
group.
Not sure if this applies to all AGM class batteries but Odyssey made a
believer out of me with regard to their technology.
I also think their data is accurate.
Just another "something to think about"?
