As an off road enthusiast, choosing a battery for your vehicle that fits your off road needs is important. You may have not thought about it before, but your battery takes a lot of abuse due to shock and vibration while off road. It also has to deliver high amounts of current for various accessories such as winches, lights, &amp; communication equipment. It needs to be able to be deeply discharged allowing you to run various accessories at camp, and it should be sealed to prevent leaking acid all over the engine bay or even worse.. all over you!<\/p>\n<div><span style=\"color: #0000ee; font-family: droid_sansregular, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/span>\u00a0Odyssey batteries are an AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) battery with impressive specifications that address all of these needs, and even more!<br \/>\nThese batteries are sealed dry cell batteries with a robust case that hold up to the heavy vibrations and are sealed to prevent spilling. This means you don&#8217;t need to worry about acid making a mess all over your vehicle when on steep hills, crazy off camber situations&#8230; or even a rollover!<\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"fl_left display_inline\" style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 14px; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; max-width: 100%; float: left; display: inline-block; font-family: droid_sansregular, sans-serif; height: auto !important;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.odysseybattery.com\/images\/AutoLTVcutaway.gif\" alt=\"Cutaway picture\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Odyssey batteries have lots of cranking power ot get your engine started and also hold a charge in long term storage better than conventional flooded batteries, especially in cold weather. They can also be deep cycled! Partly due to the pure lead that is used in these batteries, they charge extremely fast and work very well with our high output alternators (available here:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/ruggedrocksoffroad.com\/index.php?route=product\/search&amp;search=high%20output%20alternator\">https:\/\/ruggedrocksoffroad.com\/index.php?route=product\/search&amp;search=high%20output%20alternator<\/a>\u00a0)\u00a0 or Odyssey chargers, (available here: <a href=\"https:\/\/ruggedrocksoffroad.com\/index.php?route=product\/search&amp;search=odyssey%20charger\">https:\/\/ruggedrocksoffroad.com\/index.php?route=product\/search&amp;search=odyssey%20charger<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>It seems too good to be true but here is a bit more info:<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: droid_sansregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; color: #ad1b1b;\">Some batteries provide enormous cranking power. Others, deep cycle reserve power. The revolutionary ODYSSEY\u00ae battery is designed to do both.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 8px 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 14px; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; font-family: droid_sansregular, sans-serif;\">How is this possible? The answer begins with flat plates made of 99.99% pure lead &#8211; 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 \u2013 twice as much as conventional batteries.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 8px 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 14px; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; font-family: droid_sansregular, sans-serif;\">In fact, ODYSSEY batteries are capable of providing engine cranking pulses in excess of 2250 amps for 5 seconds \u2013 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.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 8px 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 14px; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; font-family: droid_sansregular, sans-serif;\">This extreme combination of power and performance makes ODYSSEY batteries perfect for a range of applications, including automotive\/LTV, marine, commercial, and powersports.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"bold\" style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 14px; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; font-family: droid_sansregular, sans-serif;\">ODYSSEY batteries vs. spiral wound designs: 15% more plate surface area!<\/span><span style=\"font-family: droid_sansregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\">\u00a0<\/span><br style=\"font-family: droid_sansregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/ruggedrocksoffroad.com\/index.php?route=product\/search&amp;search=odyssey\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 14px; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; max-width: 100%; font-family: droid_sansregular, sans-serif; height: auto !important;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.odysseybattery.com\/images\/Cutawaycomparison.jpg\" alt=\"Cutaway comparision\" width=\"270\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"fl_left\" style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 14px; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; float: left; font-family: droid_sansregular, sans-serif;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ruggedrocksoffroad.com\/index.php?route=product\/search&amp;search=odyssey\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"center\" style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background: transparent; max-width: 100%; text-align: center; height: auto !important;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.odysseybattery.com\/images\/battery_tech_compare.gif\" alt=\"Battery Techincal Comparison\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>All new Odyssey batteries applicable to Nissans are available here: <a href=\"https:\/\/ruggedrocksoffroad.com\/index.php?route=product\/search&amp;search=odyssey\">https:\/\/ruggedrocksoffroad.com\/index.php?route=product\/search&amp;search=odyssey<\/a><br \/>\nI hope this information helps get you one step farther along in building a reliable off road vehicle for you to enjoy out on the trail.
