Why Odyssey Batteries?

Unfortunately, some boat dealerships cut corners to cut costs. The most common way for them to save money is to install cheap batteries in their customers boats. The use of cheap batteries ultimately leads to problems that come at the customers expense both on the water and the wallet. That's NOT the case here at The Boat Doc. We don't cut corners and only believe in doing things right the first time around. The Boat Doc uses and recommends the highest quality, pure lead tin, dry cell batteries on the market today...Odyssey.




Here are a few snips from Odyssey's website...

ODYSSEY Marine batteries outperform spiral-wound
Compared to spiral-wound batteries of equal size, ODYSSEY Marine batteries pack 15% more plate surface area into the case. Avoiding the “dead space” between cylinders in “sixpack” designs means ODYSSEY Marine batteries deliver more power and reserve capacity.
Boat owners have traditionally had to make a choice between starting power or deep cycle power when replacing a marine battery. But most boaters want both a marine battery that delivers robust starting power when you need it, yet also withstands deep and frequent depths of discharge (DOD) without significant power loss. Now you can have it all.

Fishing ODYSSEY Marine Batteries have both massive starting power and amazing deep cycling capability. They're ideal for trolling, starting, and for powering the many on-board electronic accessories common in today’s boats

Some batteries provide enormous cranking power. Others, deep cycle reserve power. The revolutionary ODYSSEY® battery is designed to do both.

How is this possible? The answer begins with flat plates made of 99.99% pure lead - not lead alloy. Pure lead plates can be made thinner, so we can fit more of them in the battery. More ODYSSEY battery plates mean more plate surface area. And that means more power – twice as much as conventional batteries.

In fact, ODYSSEY batteries are capable of providing engine cranking pulses in excess of 2250 amps for 5 seconds – double to triple that of equally sized conventional batteries, even at very low temperatures. And they can handle 400 charge-discharge cycles to 80% depth of discharge.

This extreme combination of power and performance makes ODYSSEY batteries perfect for a range of applications, including automotive/LTV, marine, commercial, and powersports.
