FOR SALE - Odyssey PC1500DT AGM battery

[sae70]

I removed this Odyssey PC1500DT AGM battery from off of Swampy when I bought her as the terminals are round the wrong way for the near-side battery and fitted my recently purchased Numax battery to her instead. I believe the Odyssey battery to be a good battery in terms of life. I have given it a good trickle charge over a 24Hr period and since then have used it on the truck and also to power my T-Max compressor in the workshop. It still holds a good charge even after a number of weeks. It was first sold in June 2010 according to it's label, so is three and a half years old. The Odyssey blurb suggests a service life of six to eight years for one and I wouldn't have said that this ones had a hard life. They sell for in excess of £200 when new!!!

I just took a voltage reading from off of the battery to demonstrate how well it is and got a reading of 12.47Volts, about 85% charged. Not bad considering it last received a charge nearly 9 weeks ago over the weekend of the 26/27th October. Since then it was on the truck for a week and was used to start it 3 or 4 times just to move the truck, so no significant charging. It has run the lights while I refitted and checked the new tow bar electrics and the radio and interior lights while I was working on the truck over that week. I then removed it and it's stood doing nothing except to be used for about 15/20 minutes to power my T-Max compressor (heavy load of 45Amps) for pumping up tyres and testing and cleaning my ARB front locker.

I'm happy that this is a very good quality battery with plenty of life left in it







ONLY £75.00!!! I must be mad

I should just leave it in the shed as a spare and keep it topped up occasionally

STILL FOR SALE

Must be a good'un, nine days since I last tested it and it still sits at 12.47Volts

Used it to test my new voltage indicators

So, gave it another top up trickle charge at the beginning of January with the thought that I'll keep it myself just in case and that was nearly five months ago!

I don't need it and am going to stick it on ebay if anyone wants it shout up and I'll bring it to Lincomb for you

Stuck a meter on it and it's lost next to no voltage over this time, so screams to me as being a good'un
