- Better warranty
2-4 Year BCI Sized Engine Starting Applications. - Longer service life
With 3-10 years of service life, ODYSSEY batteries save consumers time, money, and aggravation. - Longer cycle life
70% longer cycle life compared to conventional deep cycle batteries - up to 400 cycles at 80% depth of discharge - highly stable voltage for longer periods of time. - Longer shelf life
Can be stored on open circuit (nothing connected to the terminals) without the need for recharging up to 2 years or 12.00V, whichever occurs first. - Faster recharge
The highest recharge efficiency of any sealed lead battery on the market - capable of 100% recharge in 4 - 6 hours. - 2 Batteries in 1
The characteristics of two separate batteries are combined in one box. It can deep cycle (be recharged) as well as provide enormous cranking power. - Superior cranking
The 5 second cranking power of Odyssey batteries is double to triple that of equally sized conventional batteries, even when the temperature is as low as -40°C (-40°F). - Mounting flexibility
Non-spillable design - can be mounted on any side in any position except inverted. - Vibration resistance
Design protects against high impact shock and mechanical vibration - a common cause of premature battery failure. - Extreme temperature tolerance
Operating temperatures from -40°C (-40°F) to 45°C (113°F), for models without a metal jacket and from -40°C (-40°F) to 80°C (176°F) for models with a metal jacket. - Totally maintenance-free
No need to add water, ever! Drycell design with resealable venting system. - Improved safety
US Department of Transportation classified it as a 'non-spillable' battery. No acid spills, no escaping gases.
Product Description
Shop the Odyssey ODS-AGM42LA: Above the Rest
Whether for everyday or emergency use, today's vehicles are loaded with more electronics than would have been imaginable just a few years ago. ODYSSEY batteries have been designed to keep up with the changes. Because their plates are made of pure virgin lead (unlike the lead alloy in most batteries), we can pack in more plates. And more plates mean more plate surface area, and much more power – up to 400 cycles at 80% depth of discharge!
ODYSSEY batteries deliver the massive starting power, rapid recovery, and amazing deep cycling capability that today's vehicles demand.
Frequently Asked Questions
What applications is the Odyssey ODS-AGM42LA battery best suited for?
A: The Odyssey PC1200T is best suited for applications that demand massive starting power, such as powersports vehicles like motorcycles and ATVs, marine watercraft, and commercial or specialty equipment.
What type of charger should I use with the Odyssey PC1200T?
A: We recommend using a smart, AGM-compatible battery charger capable of reaching 14.7V during the charge cycle. This is the best way to ensure optimal performance. The wrong charger may damage the battery and prevent it from reaching a full charge, leading to a shorter lifespan.
What is the difference between the Odyssey ODS-AGM42LA and the Odyssey PC1200T?
A: They are the same battery. The manufacturer, Enersys, simply changed the part number. You may see the older part number still listed in manuals, equipment guides, or older reference materials. However, if you are looking to replace an old PC1200T, the ODS-AGM42LA is a direct replacement.
Does the Odyssey ODS-AGM42LA come fully charged?
A: Yes, the ODS-AGM42LA is shipped fully charged. We do still recommend checking the voltage on arrival, as the battery may have sat on a shelf during storage. If the voltage is below 12.65V, you should top off the charge before use to ensure peak performance.
Is the ODS-AGM42LA a starting battery or a deep-cycle battery?
A: The Odyssey PC1200T is designed for both functions, combining strong engine-starting performance with the ability to handle repeated discharge and recharge cycles. This makes it especially useful for applications that require more than a traditional starting battery alone.
