EnerSys' Odyssey Extreme Series batteries can be used on demanding applications such as emergency response vehicles, transit buses and race cars. The pulse-hot cranking amps (PHCA), cold cranking amps (CCA) and reserve capacity (RC) ratings come much higher than those found in conventional batteries, thanks to absorbed glass mat (AGM) and thin-plate, pure lead (TPPL) technology. TPPL technology enables the batteries to provide reliable starting, lighting and ignition (SLI), as well as deep cycling for parasitic loads, such as computers for fuel-injection systems. Batteries offer a three to 10-year service life and storage of up to two years without recharging.
