LowRyter Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 I recently tried to save an Odyssey PC545 that spent the winter on a low amp/ low volt BatteryTender. Could not save it. But the book says that cold weather won't discharge an Odyssey. The big problem is that big V twin needs lots of cranking amps. My 4 cylinder needs little kick but when that battery is gone it's like an on/off switch. No slow cranking, it's just dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docc Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 It's not the cold weather, but the low voltage/low amp chargers that will kill them. Batteries that sit a lot are tough. No such thing as "No Maintenance." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docc Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 But, I am such a DieHard Odyssey devotee. And they last close to ten years. (Just fun saying DieHard® and Odyssey® in the same sentence . . . ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
