Odyssey ODP-AGMDINB · Car battery 170Ah 1300A AGM

Yes, it is AGM. In an AGM battery such as the ODP-AGMDINB, the electrolyte is not free but absorbed in a glass-fibre mat inside a sealed lead-acid battery. It tolerates heat better and handles more cycles than a conventional battery, which is why it is the required technology with advanced Start-Stop and regenerative braking.

Yes: being AGM, the Odyssey ODP-AGMDINB is designed for Start-Stop cars. AGM batteries support advanced Start-Stop and regenerative braking thanks to their higher cycle count. Basic Start-Stop: EFB. Start-Stop with regenerative braking: AGM, which withstands more cycles. Check the handbook for the technology the car manufacturer requires. It works once fitted; on most modern cars, registering it via OBD is advisable so the alternator applies the optimum charging profile.

With a 10 mm spanner, swapping in the Odyssey ODP-AGMDINB takes 15 to 30 minutes on most cars; if the battery sits in the boot or under a seat, allow up to twice as long. With the engine stopped and the key removed, always start with the negative (−) terminal, then the positive (+). Free the clamp, swap the battery without turning it round (this one has positive on the left) so the polarity stays the same, and reconnect in reverse: positive (+) first, negative (−) last. Start-Stop or BMS specifics: do not remove the IBS sensor on the negative terminal (just loosen the cable nut); after the swap, register the battery via OBD so the alternator charges with the right profile; and never step down in technology: if the car had AGM or EFB, the new one must be the same or better, as a conventional battery lasts only a few months. Our blog guide covers it in detail; if the owner's handbook describes a different procedure, follow the manufacturer.

As a guide, you can expect the Odyssey ODP-AGMDINB to last 5 to 8 years in mild-climate car use with Start-Stop, although the real figure may be higher or lower. Many factors play a part: how it is used (lots of short trips, for example), temperature (cold makes every start harder and intense heat evaporates the electrolyte), the condition of the alternator and charging system, power drawn with the engine off and maintenance, as well as the type of car and whether it has Start-Stop.

The Odyssey ODP-AGMDINB takes up 518×223×218 mm (length, width and height, terminals included). Before buying, measure the space in your car: one extra millimetre can stop the hold-down clamp from closing.

On the Odyssey ODP-AGMDINB, the polarity is positive on the left. To check, stand the battery in front of you with the terminals nearest you: the positive (+) is the one with the red ring. Compare it with the battery you are replacing: if it does not match, cables must be lengthened or the system reconfigured, with a risk of short circuit.

For your own vehicle: type your number plate into the finder (DGT/DVLA/KBA identify model and engine), check the "Compatible vehicles" tab below, listing vehicles verified by our technical team, or message us on WhatsApp with make, model, engine and year; we reply during business hours (Mon–Fri 10:00–13:30 and 16:30–18:00 (Spanish time, CET)). The car manufacturer's specifications always take priority over our tables.

Interchangeable means the same dimensions, same polarity, same Ah and same CCA; for the ODP-AGMDINB, 170 Ah (1300 A cranking). The "Equivalents" section of this page gathers the recommended options with equivalent performance; remember that in Start-Stop cars an EFB should not be replaced with a conventional battery.

It is the recommended choice for advanced Start-Stop with regenerative braking (BMW EfficientDynamics, Mercedes Eco, Audi MHEV, Land Rover ECO, Volvo i-Stop) and copes better than an EFB with tilting, vibration and extreme temperatures. The absorbent glass-fibre mat of an AGM retains the electrolyte, so it cannot leak and withstands considerably more cycles than a conventional battery. The Odyssey ODP-AGMDINB has a capacity of 170 Ah.

It is not strictly necessary on most cars, because the alternator detects the change and adapts the charge. The advisable step is to register it via OBD: the charging profile is optimum from the first minute and the battery lasts longer, especially on brands with sophisticated BMS (BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Volvo, Land Rover). Any garage with an OBD scanner can do it in a few minutes. If you prefer to do it yourself: VCDS / Carista (VAG), Bimmercode (BMW) or iCarsoft. If you do not register the ODP-AGMDINB, it will keep starting fine while the alternator adjusts the profile over a few days.
