Stored energy solution company EnerSys is offering complete Odyssey and NorthStar PRO battery lines created to power RVs and related onboard accessories.
The product line includes batteries to provide starting power as well as auxiliary and emergency power, such as the Odyssey Performance, Odyssey Extreme and NorthStar PRO Group 24, Group 27, Group 31 and Group 65 dual-purpose batteries.
“The use of RVs for vacation traveling up to full-time occupancy continues to gain popularity, especially during recent months where individuals have been social-distancing to protect against the spread of COVID-19 and seeking to find remote locations with minimal, direct human interaction,” said Bryce Gregory, EnerSys’ systems product manager of transportation and specialty. “Our selection of high-performance and virtually maintenance-free Odyssey and NorthStar batteries are the ideal power solutions for RV enthusiasts and are capable of starting the engine while powering other onboard electronics over the course of a full day to enhance the overall user experience.”
NorthStar Battery Co. was acquired by EnerSys in 2019. The parent company stated the transaction allowed Thin Plate Pure Lead (TPPL) operations and production to strengthen across all business lines, including its Odyssey RV portfolio.
“Odyssey and NorthStar PRO batteries provide deep cycle reserve power and maximum cranking power, with engine cranking pulses up to 3,125 amps for five seconds, which is double that of equally sized conventional flooded lead acid batteries,” EnerSys stated.
Additionally, the company sells Odyssey battery chargers that provide automatic six-stage charging and built-in safety features, EnerSys stated.
Odyssey and NorthStar PRO batteries feature a three-to-10-year service life and a two-year storage life. The Department of Transportation classified the vibration and shock-resistant batteries as “non-spillable,” EnerSys stated.
Both battery brands are available in various sizes.
