PRODUCT WARRANTY
ODYSSEY
®
Battery
General Product Limited Warranty
Warranty:
EnerSys Energy Products Inc. (“Manufacturer”) warrants its ODYSSEY
®
batteries (hereafter referred to as
“Battery”) to be free of defects in material and workmanship for the earlier of (a) the Applicable Warranty
Period or (b) within 400 cycles to 80% depth of discharge, whichever occurs first. The Applicable
Warranty Period is two (2) years for power sports applications; three (3) years in automotive, marine,
commercial, and industrial applications; and four (4) years in the case of the PC1220, 75-PC1230, 75/86-
PC1230, PC1350, 25-PC1400, 35-PC1400, 34-PC1500, 34M-PC1500, 34R-PC1500, 34/78-PC1500, 78-
PC1500, 65-PC1750, 31-PC2150, 31M-PC2150 and PC2250 batteries. The Applicable Warranty Period
begins from the date of purchase with original receipt, or, if no receipt is available, from Manufacturer’s
shipping date. Within the Applicable Warranty Period, the Battery will be replaced free of charge if, at the
discretion of Manufacturer, adjustment is necessary due to defect in material or workmanship (not merely
discharged). Batteries for warranty replacement consideration are to be returned to the original supplying
distributor/dealer. If not truly feasible, other ODYSSEY distributors/dealers can be approached but a
warranty processing fee may be applied. This warranty may vary from country to country; contact your
authorized ODYSSEY battery wholesaler or dealer for the applicable warranty.
General provisions:
A. Manufacturer has no obligation under the limited warranty set forth above in the event the Battery is
damaged or destroyed as a result of one or more of the following:
• Willful abuse or neglect or if the top decorative cover has been removed.
• Natural forces such as wind, lightning, hail; damage due to fire, collision, explosion, vandalism,
theft, penetration or opening of the Battery case in any manner.
• Overcharging, undercharging, charging or installing in reverse polarity, improper maintenance,
allowing the Battery to be deeply discharged via a parasitic load or mishandling of the Battery
such as but not limited to using the terminals for lifting or carrying the Battery. Trickle chargers
that do not have a regulated trickle charge voltage between 13.5V and 13.8V (no lower than 13.5V
and no higher than 13.8V) will cause early failure of the Battery. Use of such chargers with the
Battery will also void the Battery’s warranty. For applications where an alternator is present, the
alternator must deliver between 14.0V and 14.7V when measured at the battery’s terminals.
Alternators that do not have a regulated charge between 14.0V and 14.7V (no lower than 14.0V
and no higher than 14.7V) will cause early failure of the Battery. Use of such alternators with the
Battery will also void the Battery’s warranty.
• Failure to properly install the Battery or lack of metal jacket for high temperature or vibration
applications.
• Normal deterioration in the electrical qualities or the acceleration of such deterioration due to
conditions that accelerate such deterioration.
• If the Battery is used for an application that requires higher cranking power or a greater reserve
rating than the Battery is designed to deliver, or the Battery capacity is less than the Battery
capacity specified by the vehicle manufacturer, or the Battery is otherwise used in applications for
which it was not designed.
