NEW GROUP 31 HIGH POWER
/ DEEP CYCLE
SEALED VRLA BATTERY FROM ODYSSEY
ODYSSEY Batteries of
EnerSys Inc. Reserve Power Group has introduced a new Group 31-size deep
cycle sealed valve-regulated lead-acid (VRLA) battery that provides a service
life 3-4 times longer than typical wet cell batteries currently available. The
ODYSSEY PC 2150 military grade battery provides up to 70% more starting power
at low temperatures, making it ideal for heavy duty, deep cycle applications
such as over the road trucks, fire trucks, buses, construction equipment, refrigerated
trailers, and RV-motor coaches as well as marine applications.
Using pure-lead technology, the new ODYSSEY PC 2150 lasts up to 10 years in
engine-start operation versus 2-3 years as compared to similar batteries. Has
solid starting power after 12 months in storage (with no parasitic storage loads
applied), and a 2-year storage life at room temperature (recharge required to
return to active service). Additionally, the battery's thin plate technology
provides greater cranking power, especially effective at cold temperatures.
For example, the PC 2150 has 70% more starting power at -4oF (-20oC) than wet
cell batteries, and can start vehicles at temperatures as low as -20oF (-29oC).
The ODYSSEY PC 2150's sealed Drycell construction prevents external venting,
which eliminates terminal corrosion and results in high charge acceptance, increasing
a vehicle's alternator and starter lifespan. Also due to its sealed construction,
the PC 2150 is certified non-spillable by US DOT and IATA for unrestricted,
safe shipping and can be mounted and operated in any position. ODYSSEY is explosion
proof with years of safe operation.
The battery employs a rugged
military construction; the same design used in armored vehicles, that offers
improved vibration resistance and durability, while providing high performance
operation. This durability is backed by a limited 4-year full warranty against
premature failure due to factory defects material or workmanship, the longest
warranty available in the industry. The new 12-volt ODYSSEY PC 2150 Group 31
battery performance specifications include cold cranking amps (CCA) of 1,090
A at 0oF (-18oC), cranking amps (CA/MCA) of 1,370 A at 32oF (0oC), and hot cranking
amps (HCA) of 1,545 A at 80oF (27oC). The five second cold and hot cranking
amp rates are 1,500 A at 0oF (-18oC) and 2,150 A at 80oF (27oC). The battery
features a reserve capacity of 200 minutes, and a deep cycle capability of 400
cycles at 80% depth of discharge (DOD).
The battery weighs 75 lbs. (34 kg), is 13.0" L x 6.8" W x 9.4"
H (330.2 mm x 172.7 mm x 238.8 mm), and comes standard with 3/8" (9.5 mm)
corrosion-free stud terminals, a suitcase lifting handle, and an oil resistant
plastic container and cover.
Installation of the ODYSSEY
PC 2150 for house light applications in motor homes requires proper sizing.
Motor homes have used golf cart type batteries that range from 150 to 225Ah.
The PC 2150 is 100Ah, so paralleling might be required to match equivalent storage
capacity. It is suggested that no more than (4) PC 2150 (400Ah) be connected
in parallel to a single charger system to assure balanced recharge currents
to all batteries. Compare published cycle life ratings as well to understand
cycle life expectancy of the PC 2150 compared to other high cycle life batteries
such as golf cart types.
