Seems logical but an excerpt from the Odyssey spec sheet is
interesting... Thanks Corey Crawford
"To get long life from the ODYSSEY battery, it is important that the
battery is kept near full charge, approximately
12.8 volts. If there are electrical loads during storage, then the
negative battery cable should be disconnected or an
independent float charger used. Low power 2.0 amp chargers for storage
charge will keep a fully charged battery
fully charged but cannot recharge if the ODYSSEY battery becomes
discharged."
"Racing Vehicles using total loss (no alternator) - standard automotive
type chargers are not designed
to return 105-108% of the energy removed. They normally boost charge to
80-95% and expect the alternator
to complete the charge. Chargers listed on our website at
www.odysseybattery.com are specifically designed
for ODYSSEY batteries that are routinely deeply discharged. They provide
the 105-108% recharge and then
switch to storage charge."

If that is true, do they also require a special alternator to charge
them when in flight? Just sayin'...
