Odyssey Battery PC680 Extreme Series Powersport AGM Battery

The Odyssey Battery PC680 is a 12-volt Extreme Series AGM powersport battery for machines that need more starting power and a longer life than a conventional battery delivers. Odyssey builds the PC680 with pure lead plates in a non-spillable AGM design and rates it at 520 pulse hot cranking amps and 170 cold cranking amps. It weighs 15.4 lbs.

Odyssey states that the PC680's rugged construction protects against the shock and vibration that can quickly destroy other batteries. It also says the pure lead plates give twice the overall power and three times the life of conventional batteries, with up to 400 cycles at 80% depth of discharge. Odyssey's current part number for this PC680 AGM battery is ODS-AGM16L, and it still lists the PC680 name in parentheses.

Fitment

Odyssey sells the PC680 as a powersport battery chosen by size and rating, not as a part for one specific UTV. Before you order, check the battery's dimensions, terminal style and cranking rating against your machine's battery box and your OEM battery spec. Fitment is not guaranteed on any application, and some machines need a hold-down or spacer. Contact Dunes 2 Dezert SXS with your year, make and model and we can help you confirm the Odyssey PC680 battery is the right size before you buy.

Why Odyssey Battery

Odyssey Battery builds its Extreme Series of Odyssey powersport battery models around pure lead plates and a non-spillable AGM design for powersport vehicles that take constant pounding on land, sea or snow. The Odyssey PC680 battery brings that construction to a compact 12V AGM powersport battery, with full specifications published by the manufacturer so you can match it to your machine with confidence.

Finish Your Odyssey PC680 Battery Install

Before you order the Odyssey PC680 battery, confirm it matches your machine's battery box dimensions and terminal style. Plan how you will secure it, because a battery that can move in its tray will not survive rough terrain no matter how it is built. A quality charger or maintainer, like the ones listed below, helps keep any AGM battery at full charge between rides. Need a bigger battery? Compare the Odyssey PC925L and PC1200T.
