Odyssey PC925 Battery - Features and Specifications

Odyssey PC925 battery nominal capacity is 28 Ah (when being discharged for 20 hours). Like all lead-acid batteries, when being discharged faster, its capacity drops, and when being discharged for 10 hours, its capacity is 27 Ah - it can deliver 2.7 Amps for 10 hours.

These values are very important when powering smaller loads like LED lights, fish finders, stereo units, etc.

Reserve Capacity (value) is 48 minutes - Odyssey PC925 can deliver 25 Amps for 48 minutes, which is very important when powering medium loads, like smaller trolling motors and similar.

Despite being a dual-purpose battery, the Odyssey PC925 battery can supply 330 CCA (Cold Cranking Amps), 480 MCA (Marine Cranking Amps), 610 HCA (Hot Cranking Amps), and 900 PHCA (5 sec Pulse Hot Cranking Amps).

Due to its low internal resistance (5 mΩ), the short circuit current is ~2400 Amps - such current can make plenty of damage, so avoid short-circuiting this and any other battery.

When being used in deep-cycle applications, Odyssey PC925 can last up to 400 cycles at 80% of DoD (Depth of Discharge).

Thanks to its design, Odyssey PC925 can be stored for longer periods of time without maintenance. When being fully charged first, it can be stored 48 months at 41°F (5°C), 36 months at 59°F (15°C), 24 months at 77°F (25°C), 12 months at 95°F (35°C), and 6 months at 113°F (45°C). When being stored, as soon as the battery voltage drops down to 12 volts (35% of full charge), the battery must be fully charged, preferably with an intelligent AGM battery charger.

Odyssey PC925 battery general dimensions are (L x W x H) 6.64 x 7.05 x 5.04 inches (168.6 x 179 x 128 mm) and it weighs ~26 pounds (~11.8 kg) - weight and dimensions depend slightly on exact battery model.

5 min 1412 127.2 10.6 117.7
10 min 912 80.3 13.4 152.1
15 min 686 59.8 15.0 171.6
 20 min 554 48.0 16.0 184.8
 30 min 405 34.8 17.4 202.3
 45 min 291 24.9 18.7 218.5
1 hour 234 20.0 20.0 234.0

 4 hours 70 5.9 23.6 280.0
 5 hours  57 4.8 24.2 287.3
 8 hours 39 3.3 26.1 310.1
 10 hours 32 2.7 26.7 319.0
 20 hours 18 1.5 29.3 352.7

 For example, people having fishing kayaks with small trolling motors (~20 Amps at full throttle) can expect ~1 hour of constant operation using Odyssey PC925 battery.

Also, people having fish finders, GPS, and similar devices drawing 1.5 Amps can expect ~20 hours of constant operation.
