The biggest problem with Odyssey batteries is they are kept near full charge without much draw down. In other words, kept on a maintainer full time. Odyssey has a letter on their support web page that describes drawing the battery down to 10V with a landing light or similar load. Then using Odyssey or similar programmed charger to fully recharge, to restore capacity.

Having trouble finding the document . . .
is this the one you're citing?

So Bob, (congratulations, by the way),


the below captioned article seems to be relative to a sulfated battery in an attempt to revitalize a battery that has been potentially abused.


In normal activity, with standard alternator/VR charging, is sulfation a problem since the starting energy is replaced shortly-- unless there is significant starting problems and the aircraft is usually tied down or hangered with a relatively full charged battery.(of course if flown)?


If left untouched for relatively long periods of time since the discharge rate is small, is it necessary to do anything?


Do the appropriate chargers protect against this sulfation if left on as a trickle? also at what battery voltage level should external charging be appropriate?


Rich
