The Odyssey PC 1200 is a sealed dry cell battery. It's a valve-regulated, acid-type that uses gas-recombination technology for longevity and renewal.
The PC 1200 is built from a high-purity lead/tin grid existing in a starved electrolyte.
Since the battery is permanently sealed, it does not produce gas and is safe for interior installations.Battery Size:
Length of the PC 1200 is 7-7/8 inches, with a depth of 6-11/16 inches and a height measurement of 7-1/2 inches. Considering the output of this battery, it's the smallest, most powerful automotive energy cell we've seen to date.Battery Weight:
Total weight of the PC 1200 is 38.0 pounds each.Battery Output:
The Odyssey PC 1200 pulses 1,200 5-second cranking amps. That's a total of 630 cold-cranking amps to use the outdated method of cranking amps.Recharging times:
Time needed on a 10-amp charger is only 4 hours, whereas charge time on a 20-amp charger is less at 3-1/2 hours for an optimal charge of 12.84 volts.Deep-Cycle Life Expectancy:
The Odyssey PC 1200 can be deep-cycled as many as 500 times without damaging the battery.Battery Life Expectancy:
Under medium to heavy-duty usage, the PC 1200 should last approximately five years. Under lighter-duty conditions, the service life of the PC 1200 may extend as long as eight years.
