READING, Pennsylvania, September 20, 2022 – EnerSys (NYSE:ENS), the global leader in stored energy solutions for industrial applications and the manufacturer of ODYSSEY batteries, will soon add three of the most popular sizes for powersports vehicles to the Company's premium ODYSSEY battery portfolio. An official premiere of the new models is set to take place in ODYSSEY battery booth no. A1838 at the 2022 Automotive Aftermarket Products Expo (AAPEX) November 1-3, 2022 at The Venetian Expo in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The three models, ODS-AGM14 (Group size BTX14), ODS-AGM20L (Group size BTX20L) and ODS-AGM30L (Group size BTX30L), are ideal solutions for a variety of popular vehicle models including Harley-Davidson motorcycles and Polaris All-Terrain Vehicles (ATVs), and can also be used in other powersports vehicles, including snowmobiles and Personal Watercraft (PWC) applications. Upon launch, all three models will feature a drop-in fit, so no accessories will be needed for proper installation, and will represent the first in these group sizes to be available with proprietary Thin Plate Pure Lead (TPPL) technology.
"The models we use in our existing portfolio of ODYSSEY batteries are suitable for the powersports applications, but they require the installer to use additional hardware to secure the fit," said Dave McMullen, Senior Director of Marketing, Transportation & Specialty at EnerSys. "With this upcoming launch, we will now have ODYSSEY Powersport battery drop-in fitments for the three most popular group sizes for powersports vehicles and the first to be available with our advanced TPPL technology."
Proprietary TPPL technology in ODYSSEY batteries uses pure lead plates that can be made thinner than those in conventional flooded lead acid batteries, so more plates fit into the same size footprint to provide greater surface area. This enables more electrochemical reactions with the electrolyte to produce more power than conventional batteries of comparable size. The results include engine cranking pulses that are significantly higher than that of equally sized conventional lead acid batteries.
ODYSSEY batteries also feature Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM) construction, which packs the plates tightly in absorbent fiberglass separators that hold the electrolyte and make the batteries virtually maintenance-free. The rugged AGM construction and non-spillable design of ODYSSEY batteries also protect against high-impact shock and mechanical vibration to help provide longer service life. Backed by an industry-leading warranty, they come with the required Cold Cranking Amps (CCA) to fit the needs of each application.
