Motorcycle battery Odyssey ODS-AGM42LA ODS 42Ah 540A

The Odyssey ODS-AGM42LA from the ODS range is a motorcycle battery with 42 Ah and 540 A of cold cranking current (EN), designed for motorcycles, scooters, quads and personal watercraft. It replaces the original battery without adaptation in motorcycles with a 198 × 165 × 191 mm format: same 42 Ah capacity and the positive terminal on the right.

• Resistant to the vibration typical of two wheels.
• Energetic cranking for high-compression engines.
• AGM technology: absorbed electrolyte, no spills, can be mounted at an angle.
• Same JIS code as the original battery: fits first time.

Dimensions, polarity and mounting

It has external dimensions of 198 × 165 × 191 mm and weighs 17.30 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 SAE terminals, the system that anchors and connects it in the vehicle. Before replacing it, measure your current battery tray: if all three dimensions and the terminal positions match, the swap is direct and needs no adapters.

What the Odyssey ODS-AGM42LA is for

With 42 Ah, the Odyssey ODS-AGM42LA covers the starting of motorcycles, scooters, quads and personal watercraft. The JIS code on your current battery label is the safest way to confirm equivalence. Check that it matches your current battery in dimensions, terminals and hold-down: this reference has a weight of 17.30 kg and SAE terminals.

The Odyssey ODS-AGM42LA: ODS range and AGM technology

The ODS is the Odyssey range the ODS-AGM42LA belongs to: it shares the same construction and quality criteria with the rest of the series, and varies in capacity and format to suit each vehicle.

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.

Odyssey: the maker behind the ODS-AGM42LA

Odyssey, part of the EnerSys group, makes thin-plate pure-lead (TPPL) batteries: extreme cranking, total vibration resistance and very long service life in motorsport, 4x4, marine and demanding vehicles. All the Odyssey batteries in our catalogue are genuine product, recently manufactured and covered by the manufacturer's warranty.

Warranty and coverage

The Odyssey ODS-AGM42LA 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.

How to make it last longer

Charge with a charger that has an AGM mode: it limits the voltage and protects the glass-fibre separators. Check the resting voltage before the season (above 12.6 V on a charged battery) and make sure the terminals are clean and tight.

When you get it and how to return it

Orders placed before 6:00 pm with the battery in stock ship the same day. Delivery in mainland Spain and Portugal takes 24-48 working hours; for the Balearic Islands and the rest of the European Union allow 3 to 5 working days.
