The ODYSSEY Extreme ODX-AGM78 is a BCI Group 78 Thin Plate Pure Lead (TPPL) AGM battery for working vehicles whose loads never fully shut off: emergency vehicles, work trucks with liftgates, winches, or plows, and fleets running telematics, security camera systems, utility lamps, 12V power receptacles, CPAP circuits in sleeper cabs, and refrigerators or coolers that keep drawing after shutdown.

If you are looking for a Group 78 battery around 850 CCA and 68 Ah (20-hour) with 135 minutes of reserve capacity, the ODX-AGM78 is the current version of the legacy 78-PC1500 part number.

Small loads add up: per EnerSys parasitic-draw guidance and TMC RP140A, a combined 5-amp draw over a 60-hour weekend equals a 300 Ah discharge. A weekend sit has little impact, but a week of continuous draw can pull a battery below 10.5 volts, and if that happens routinely, performance and life are impacted. The ODX-AGM78 is built for exactly that duty: the highest cranking output in the WCB Group 78 lineup, deep-discharge recovery, extreme vibration resistance, fast recharge, and up to 400 cycles at 80% depth of discharge per EnerSys published ratings.

Group 78 is a side-terminal group; the ODX-AGM78 uses threaded side receptacles. For emergency vehicles, mission-critical uptime, and vehicles that cannot afford a no-start, ODYSSEY Extreme is the floor — for daily drivers with stock electrical loads, the ODP-AGM78 covers the same Group 78 footprint. The ODX-AGM78 is an automotive and commercial battery and is not positioned for powersport applications.
