The Odyssey Group 48 is a 12 volt AGM battery built with pure lead plates. It is rated at 720 cold cranking amps for engine starts, and the construction is described as rugged and vibration resistant. The case measures 10.91 by 6.85 by 7.47 inches in the group 48 size, and a 36 month warranty stands behind it.
Our take
With 720 cold cranking amps from a 12 volt AGM, this is built around engine starts. The pure lead plates and vibration resistance mean it is made to take the shaking of an engine space, and a 36 month warranty sits behind it.
From our buying guide
A starting battery delivers a short burst of strong power, a deep-cycle battery a low, steady level for longer, and a dual-purpose battery a balance of the two. Buy for the job it will do.
Check before you buy:
- You've measured the tray against the maker's real dimensions, since a BCI group gives maximum sizes and some batteries sold as a drop-in run longer.
- You're comparing the same rating. Cold cranking amps are tested at 0°F and cranking amps at 32°F, so the second number is higher.
- If it's lithium, the maker says whether it may start an engine, and NMMA advises contacting your boat's manufacturer or a certified technician before replacing lead-acid.
