Batteries Designed
to Meet Today’s
Growing Demand
for Onboard Power
Advances in electronic technology in recent
years have increased the number of devices
available for use onboard both commercial
vessels and pleasure boats, which in turn in-
crease the burden on the boat’s source of
electrical power. Meeting these growing de-
mands, as well as the existing demands for
starting, lighting and ignition (SLI) and trolling,
require that marine batteries deliver electrical
power that is both substantial and reliable.
Leading industrial battery manufacturer Ener-
Sys
®
, continues to provide an effective solution
with its line of ODYSSEY
®
Trolling
Thunder
®
/Marine Dual Purpose batteries.
“While powering the increasing number of
onboard data and communications compo-
nents,” said EnerSys Director of Marketing -
Specialty Markets Jason Searl, “ODYSSEY
Trolling Thunder/Marine Dual Purpose batteries
combine twice the overall power of convention-
al marine batteries with a deep-cycle capacity
of up to 400 cycles at 80 percent depth of dis-
charge (DOD), which more than compensates
for the demands of trolling.”
Maintenance-free
ODYSSEY batteries’ thin plate pure lead
(TPPL) design provides 15 percent more sur-
face area than conventional spiral-wound, six-
pack plates, enabling ODYSSEY batteries to
deliver up to 40 percent more reserve power
while offering a smaller footprint that occupies
less space in the boat.
In addition to TPPL design, ODYSSEY batter-
ies feature absorbed glass mat (AGM) dry cells
that that do not leak or spill electrolyte. AGM
dry-cell design eliminates the risk of acid spills
and enables the batteries (with the exception
of model PC-1800-FT in the ODYSSEY Trolling
Thunder/Marine Dual Purpose line) to be
mounted in any position but inverted. Addition-
ally, AGM dry cells eliminate the need to add
water, making ODYSSEY batteries mainte-
nance-free.
The overall design of ODYSSEY batteries en-
ables them to tolerate high-impact shock and
mechanical vibration, which are leading caus-
es of premature battery failure. ODYSSEY
Trolling Thunder/Marine Dual Purpose batteries
offer three times the service life of conventional
marine batteries. In addition to durability, the
sealed design ensures that gases are recycled
internally during operation and charging.
Wide range of applications
With six models in the line, ODYSSEY
Trolling Thunder/Marine Dual Purpose batteries
cover a wide range of marine applications.
Among the models is the 31M-PC2150, which
features an improved terminal configuration
that better meets the demands of marine use.
Its specially molded bus bar enhances vibra-
tion and rotation protection, and the improved
flame arrestor safely and efficiently vents hy-
drogen gas in the event of severe overcharge.
Another model in the line is the 34M-PC1500,
which provides the combination of superior SLI
power with deep and frequent DOD for out-
board motors and similar marine applications.
Its sealed design enables gas to recycle inter-
nally, which makes it safe to mount in passen-
ger compartments.
The latest model in ODYSSEY Trolling Thun-
der/Marine Dual Purpose batteries line is the
PC1800-FT. It provides greater power in a
smaller footprint than conventional 8D batter-
ies, which are six to seven inches wider. The
other models in the line include the PC625,
PC925 and PC2250.
When properly charged, all six ODYSSEY
Trolling Thunder/Marine Dual Purpose battery
models provide superior SLI power while with-
standing deep and frequent DOD without sig-
nificant power loss, in addition to handling the
additional burden of onboard electronics that
are common on today’s boats. They also occu-
py less space, require no maintenance and
offer service-life longevity.
