Odyssey Battery SBSJ-16 FAA-PMA certified sealed aircraft battery for Piper PA-18 SuperCubs

The ODYSSEY™ battery ingeniously uses absorbed glass mat (AGM) technology to offer, in one box, the characteristics of two separate batteries. It can deep cycle as well as provide enormous cranking power – it is almost as if a champion long distance runner and a world class sprinter are one and the same person.

These batteries are capable of providing engine cranking pulses in excess of 2250A for 5 seconds as well as 400 charge/discharge cycles to 80% depth of discharge (DOD). A typical starting, lighting and ignition (SLI) battery can do one or the other, but not both. It is either a sprinter or a long distance runner; ODYSSEY batteries will do both – provide short duration high amperage pulse or low rate long duration drains.

Superior Cranking and Fast Charge Capability

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). Also, with simple constant voltage charging (alternator or independent charger), there is no limitation on the inrush current, so the user is assured of fast charge recovery.

Mounting Flexibility

The ODYSSEY battery may be installed in any orientation (except inverted) without sacrificing any performance attributes. There is no fear of any acid spillage as ODYSSEY batteries recycle the internal gas during operation or charging. The valve regulated design of the ODYSSEY battery eliminates the need for an acid vent tube; eliminating the fear of acid burns or damage to expensive chrome or paint.

Superior Vibration Resistance

ODYSSEY batteries are of military grade technology and have endured rigorous tests that demonstrate their overall ruggedness and exceptional tolerance of mechanical abuse.
