EnerSys now offers Odyssey batteries in dual-purpose BCI Sizes Group 25 and Group 35 with the introduction of Models 25-PC1400 and 35-PC1400. They’re designed for automotive/light truck and heavy-duty applications.

Both are 12-volt, absorbed-glass-mat (AGM) batteries that provide 1400 cranking amps for five seconds at room temperature and a 100-minute reserve capacity. With their
dual-purpose design, they can function as cyclic and as starting, lighting and ignition batteries. Their specifications include a CCA rating of 740 and a nominal capacity of 60 Ah at the 20-hour rate of discharge.

The new batteries also offer a sealed design (eliminating the need for an acid vent tube) and recycling of internal gas during operation and charging, making them safe for
mounting inside passenger compartments and in any orientation except inverted. They’re said to be tolerant of mechanical abuse and come with a four-year warranty for all
applications.
