Condor Posted January 27, 2008 #7 Posted January 27, 2008 How are the batteries being shipped, UPS, FED EX??? USPS Priority.... Your's went out on the 22nd Barry. If you don't get it by monday let me know and I'll send out the dogs.....
GeorgeS Posted January 27, 2008 #8 Posted January 27, 2008 To all those new to the Odyessy battery, be sure to read the " Charging Instructions". As the proceedure is somewhat different then with a lead Acid Battery. Also different, is that you use voltage readings, ( 12.4 to 12.7 ) to determine the " state " of charge. I have noted, that after 4 to 6 hours of charging at 4 amp rate, then giveing the battery couple hours to settle in, I will see, 12.8 to 12.9 volts, with digital volt meter.

Condor Posted January 29, 2008 #10 Posted January 29, 2008 Thanks Condor, Received mine today via UPS! Barry Yeah, Odyssey ships two different ways depending on which is the most economical. I thought they were all going via USPS. A few went UPS. My bad. I should have looked at the invoices closer. Glad you got it OK.
Silver Bullet Posted January 29, 2008 #12 Posted January 29, 2008 thanx jack- got mine .yep mom called me jackie.
BoomerCPO Posted January 31, 2008 #13 Posted January 31, 2008 Condor.....UPS just delivered my battery. Thanks much for the good deal and effort which you put into this! Regards.......Boomer
Condor Posted February 3, 2008 #15 Posted February 3, 2008 Which one did you get? All the 2ndGens picked up PC545's. It looks like all the 2ndGens received their batteries. The only outstandings are two PC680s that are on backorder. Thanks to everyone for putting this one together. ~Condor~
Guest tesnevo Posted February 3, 2008 #16 Posted February 3, 2008 Got my 2nd gen last week too. Thanks for the speedy shipping.
gunboat Posted February 3, 2008 #17 Posted February 3, 2008 thanks condor got mine and installed, just in time to run out to big bend area of texas for a father/son ride. gunboat
SaltyDawg Posted March 27, 2008 #18 Posted March 27, 2008 How are the PC545's working for you guys? Any problems. I had an issue with my battery last night (not an odyssey) and am researching a new battery and came across this little tidbit about the PC545 that I thought you might want to know. Specifically the battery voltages and the charger they recommend for the battery. I haven't looked at my battery tender plus to see if it meets these specs or not. If not, I may go another way for my new battery. I know it refers to big V-twins, but remember the RSV charging system is woefully inadequate. http://www.odysseybatteries.com/files/pc545.pdf
gibvel Posted March 27, 2008 #19 Posted March 27, 2008 I know that Don has an Odyssey and, I believe, he uses a battery tender on it. I have a battery MINDER and have emailed asking a question as to wether mine will work on gel or dry cells as well...cause, you know, I may be looking for a new battery here as well.
Tartan Terror Posted March 27, 2008 #20 Posted March 27, 2008 I have the Odessey and its great. I posted in another thread this information. The Regular battery tender does not provide enough amps to tend this battery. 2 amps is not enough. Odessey makes a tender for their own batteries and it tends at 6 amps and monitors it. Works great!
Guest Popeye Posted March 27, 2008 #21 Posted March 27, 2008 I got an Odessey pc680 about 6 weeks ago, before I learned my alternator was shot. The battery ran my wing for 45 miles before quitting. I checked the Odessey site for charging: http://www.odysseybatteries.com/charging.htm and found I only needed an automatic charger. I got a dual-purpose Schumacher 6-4-2v automatic charger on eBay for $25.50 delivered http://item.express.ebay.com/SCHUMACHER-6-12-V-BATTERY-CHARGER-MAINTAINER-6-AMP-CAR_W0QQitemZ150229444978QQihZ005QQtrZexpQQcmdZExpressItem & it recharged my [dead-as-a-brick] pc680 just fine....it also works as a maintainer as it's automatic. The LEDs tell everything you need to know. Now that I found the short & replaced the bad alternator, it's excellent. Gel batteries are not really an issue since they are not practical for bikes. Also, the Odessey Battery is not really a "dry-cell", as it is called by Odessey. It is an AGM [absorbed glass material] battery, which is really just a spillproof, sealed wetcell battery for our needed facts. Salty Dawg links info to a 'V-twin' engine with a 32 amp alt', this is a custom harley below 2k RPMs. The 2nd gen is a 'twin-V' & always ridden regular over 2000 RPM. Mine is in a 1500 wing & I don't use the charger/maintainer anymore since it doesn't sit still long enough.
