…That could bring a small dry cell odyssey type battery back to life? Barely got to use this thing and it went dead on me at some point. Now it wont take a charge with my trickle charger…

Ive killed 2 PC680’s with chargers in the last few years, although never had issues with my Braille. Couldve been from a couple 60 amp jump charges though… :facepalm

odyssey’s, unfortunately, are junk. We had one in the bike swell up so bad from normal discharging during starting/cranking that I had to cut it out of the steel box it fit into with 1/8" factored clearance all around. They’re not a good battery for repeated cycling without good proper charging in between cycles.

If you can get it to hold a charge again I’d be surprised.

I’ve got one that does 12 batts at a time… any configuration up to 72v. 🙂
