THE BIN!

WARRANTY:

EnerSys® Energy Products Inc. (“Manufacturer”) warrants its ODYSSEY® Extreme Racing™ batteries (hereafter referred to as “Battery”) to be free of
defects in material and workmanship for the Applicable Warranty Period. The Applicable Warranty Period is two (2) years. 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 adjustment is necessary due to defect in material or workmanship (not merely discharged).
Simply return the Battery to any authorised ODYSSEY Extreme Racing battery dealer with the original receipt for a replacement. This warranty may vary
from country to country; contact your authorised ODYSSEY Extreme Racing 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.

• 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.

B. To obtain warranty service:

1. Return the Battery to any authorised ODYSSEY Extreme Racing battery wholesaler or dealer.

2. If the Battery is determined to be defective for material or workmanship under terms of this limited warranty, it will be replaced.

THIS LIMITED WARRANTY IS IN LIEU OF, AND MANUFACTURER DISCLAIMS AND EXCLUDES ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, STATUTORY, EXPRESS
OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
MANUFACTURER’S EXCLUSIVE LIABILITY FOR BREACH OF WARRANTY SHALL BE TO REPLACE THE BATTERY WITHIN THE EFFECTIVE
WARRANTY PERIOD. IN NO EVENT SHALL MANUFACTURER BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGES OF ANY OTHER KIND, WHETHER
DIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, SPECIAL OR OTHERWISE. NOR SHALL MANUFACTURER BE LIABLE FOR ANY REMOVAL
OR INSTALLATION EXPENSE, OR THE LOSS OF TIME OR PROFITS. Some countries and/or states do not allow limitation on how long an implied
warranty lasts or the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations may not apply to you. This warranty
gives you specific legal rights, which may vary from country to country and/or state to state.

WHY USE ODYSSEY® EXTREME RACING™ BATTERIES?

GUARANTEED LONGER SERVICE LIFE

With an eight to twelve year design life (float) and a three to ten year service life, ODYSSEY® Extreme Racing™
batteries save you time and money because you do not have to replace the battery as often. ODYSSEY
Extreme Racing batteries are warranted against factory defects for two (2) years.

SUPERIOR CRANKING AND FAST CHARGE CAPABILITY

The 5 second cranking power of ODYSSEY Extreme Racing 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 Extreme Racing battery may be installed in any orientation (except inverted) without sacrificing
any performance attributes. There is no fear of any acid spillage as ODYSSEY Extreme Racing batteries recycle
the internal gas during operation or charging. The valve regulated design of the ODYSSEY Extreme Racing
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 Extreme Racing batteries are of military grade technology and have endured rigorous tests that
demonstrate their overall ruggedness and exceptional tolerance of mechanical abuse.

READY OUT OF THE BOX

ODYSSEY Extreme Racing batteries are shipped fully charged. If the ODYSSEY Extreme Racing battery's
voltage is 12.65V or greater, simply install the battery in your vehicle and you are ready to go! If below 12.65V,
boost charge following the instructions in the ODYSSEY Extreme Racing battery Owner’s Manual and/or
Technical Manual. Putting a boost on the battery will not damage it, even if its voltage reads higher than 12.65V.

WORRY-FREE SHIPPING

Owing to the drycell design, the US Department of Transportation (USDOT) has classified the ODYSSEY
Extreme Racing battery as nonspillable, so it may be shipped worry-free by express service or by air.

LONGER STORAGE LIFE

Unlike conventional batteries that require a recharge every six to twelve weeks, the ODYSSEY Extreme Racing
battery can be stored for up to two years at 25ºC (77ºF) from a fully charged state. These batteries can be
stored for two years or when the open circuit voltage (OCV) drops to 12.00V, whichever comes first.

DEEP DISCHARGE RECOVERY

Should the ODYSSEY Extreme Racing battery become deeply discharged, simply recharge following
instructions in this manual.

1. Using proper procedures as recommended by the vehicle manufacturer, carefully disconnect the cables
from your old battery and remove it from the vehicle. Return the spent battery to the battery dealer for
proper recycling.

2. Inspect existing battery cables for corrosion, acid damage or insulation deterioration. Replace if
deterioration is present.

3. Position your ODYSSEY Extreme Racing battery in the battery holder and fasten firmly to the vehicle.

4. Connect the positive cable from your ignition to the Positive (+) terminal.

5. Connect the negative cable from your engine or chassis to the Negative (-) terminal.

6. Torque the bolt, screw or nut per the specification noted in table. If you’re using the Accessory Bolt
(C), hold the Brass Post (A) with vise grips and counter torque. Do the same with General Motors

NOTE: This is a valve regulated sealed battery and never needs to have water or electrolyte (acid) added.

Warranty will be void if opened!

SPECIAL NOTICE!

• CUSTOM V-TWIN MOTORCYCLE INSTALLATIONS USING ODYSSEY EXTREME RACING

18, 20, 25 AND 35 BATTERIES
If your V-Twin motorcycle is equipped with a standard 32 amp single phase stator/alternator, the
appropriate ODYSSEY Extreme Racing battery may run out of charge after about 150 miles of riding.
To avoid this situation we strongly recommend an intelligent voltage dedicated charger for existing 32
amp equipped bikes, with the charger being operated continuously during the non-use
of the bike and/or installing a 3-phase 40 amp or higher stator/alternator, especially in new bikes.

• Prolonged storage of vehicles with fuel injection computers, alarms, GPS and other electrical devices

that require continuous battery power to support active memories; this power drain must be offset with
a maintenance-float charger, periodic charging or disconnecting the battery to prevent the establishment
of irreversible crystallised sulphation in the battery plate oxide. Failure to address this destroys battery
capacity and voids the warranty, as this is not a warranted defect in materials or workmanship.
