## Description

## Motorcycle battery Odyssey ODS-AGM16CL ODS 18Ah 220A

18*Ah* Capacity
220*A* Cold cranking
6*kg* Weight

The **Odyssey ODS-AGM16CL motorcycle battery** is rated at **V**, **18 Ah** and **220 A** of cold cranking current (EN) from the **ODS** range, and is designed for motorcycles, scooters, quads and personal watercraft. Measuring 170 × 99 × 178 mm and the positive terminal on the right, it is the direct replacement for motorcycles fitted from the factory with a 18 Ah battery of this format.
- AGM: faster recharging and better cycle resistance than a conventional battery.
- Sealed and ready to fit, no acid handling.
- Holds its charge through winter storage.
- Compact and lightweight format.

### What the Odyssey ODS-AGM16CL is for

The Odyssey ODS-AGM16CL is a common replacement in motorcycles, scooters, quads and personal watercraft. If your bike spends the winter standing, a trickle charger stops it reaching spring flat. Check that it matches your current battery in dimensions, terminals and hold-down: this reference has a weight of 6 kg and M6 Receptacle terminals.

### Dimensions, polarity and mounting

The Odyssey ODS-AGM16CL is made in the 170 × 99 × 178 mm format and weighs 6 kg. The positive terminal on the right decides which side the cables end up on: it is the detail that causes most buying mistakes, so check it before ordering. It uses M6 Receptacle terminals, the system that anchors and connects it in the vehicle. Checking the three dimensions and the terminal position before buying avoids the most common mistake when replacing a battery.

### What Odyssey does differently

Odyssey batteries combine starting and deep cycling in a single sealed pure-lead unit, with some of the longest warranties on the market. All the Odyssey batteries in our catalogue are genuine product, recently manufactured and covered by the manufacturer's warranty.

### The Odyssey ODS-AGM16CL: ODS range and AGM technology

Within the Odyssey catalogue, the **ODS** series groups the references designed for this use. The ODS-AGM16CL is the 18 Ah model of that family, with the same performance as its siblings in other sizes.
In an AGM battery the electrolyte is absorbed in glass-fibre separators: there is no free liquid, it cannot spill and it can be mounted at an angle. That construction lowers internal resistance, speeds up recharging and multiplies cycle life compared with a conventional battery.

### Care and maintenance

Avoid repeated cranking attempts on a cold bike for long: if it does not start on the third try, let the battery rest for a minute. Charge with a charger that has an AGM mode: it limits the voltage and protects the glass-fibre separators.

### Manufacturer's warranty

The Odyssey ODS-AGM16CL comes with the **manufacturer's official warranty**. The warranty does not cover discharge through prolonged inactivity: if the bike stands for months, use a trickle charger.

### When you get it and how to return it

Order **before 6:00 pm** with stock available and it leaves today: mainland Spain and Portugal receive it in 24-48 working hours, the islands and the rest of the EU in 3 to 5 days. You have **14 days** to return it if it has not been installed, with free collection on the mainland, and shipment tracking by email.

## Frequently asked questions

### Is the Odyssey ODS-AGM16CL an AGM battery and what are the benefits of AGM?

Yes. The Odyssey ODS-AGM16CL is AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat): sealed lead-acid, with the electrolyte absorbed in glass fibre. Compared with a conventional battery it withstands more charge/discharge cycles and handles heat better.

### How should this motorcycle battery be charged?

With a 12 V motorcycle charger delivering at most 10 % of its capacity: 1.8 A for its 18 Ah. High-current car chargers can damage it. If the bike is laid up for the winter, keep it on a maintenance charger.

### Does it need maintenance?

No: being AGM, it is sealed and nothing needs topping up. Just keep it charged if the bike stands for a long time.

### What is the service life of the ODS-AGM16CL model?

As a guide, you can expect the Odyssey ODS-AGM16CL to last 4 to 6 years, keeping it charged when the bike is not in use, although the real figure may be higher or lower. What weighs most: temperature (cold makes starts harder and intense heat evaporates the electrolyte), frequent short trips, the condition of the alternator and charging system, power draw while parked and maintenance.

### What are the dimensions of the Odyssey ODS-AGM16CL battery?

Measure the battery tray before ordering: a one-millimetre difference is enough for the hold-down clamp not to close. It measures 170×99×178 mm in length × width × height, with the terminals included in the height.

### On which side is the positive of the ODS-AGM16CL model?

On the Odyssey ODS-AGM16CL, the polarity is positive on the right. 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.

### Will the Odyssey ODS-AGM16CL battery fit my motorcycle?

Three routes: the "Compatible vehicles" tab on this page, with the vehicles verified by our technical team; your number plate in the finder, from which DGT/DVLA/KBA detect model and engine; and WhatsApp, with make, model, engine and year, during business hours (Mon–Fri 10:00–13:30 and 16:30–18:00 (Spanish time, CET)). In every case, the motorcycle manufacturer's specifications (owner's handbook) take precedence.

### What are the equivalents of the ODS-AGM16CL model?

The "Equivalents" section further down lists the recommended alternatives. Interchangeable means the same dimensions, same polarity, same Ah and same CCA; for the ODS-AGM16CL, 18 Ah (220 A cranking).
