Looking to use this on an Odyssey PC680-P in a motorcycle. Will this work with a dry cell battery?

Mr. BuddyOlPal I did a little research on your question, first the term "dry cell" is a little misleading for this battery, it is actually a AGM design Battery, which means it is a glass mat and not a true "dry cell"...that term, belongs to batteries like AA AAA C D Batteries. According to the battery manufacturer... Any conventional battery charger or alternator up to 15.2 volts and 25 amps will be sufficient....However I would not use a charger that high for that type of battery, I would use a lower amperage, say something from 2 -6 amps would be better.....The smart charger does not supply that kind of current, it is only for a charged battery and to maintain it while it is not being used....I installed a AGM battery as a second battery in my 4 wheeler and this battery maintainer worked really well for that purpose, so if your battery is ok and charged, then it should work just fine...

It's way too small, this is a motorcycle battery. Why not call Odyssey or check their web site to see if they make a battery the appropriate size for your vehicle?

Yes, all drycell "6V" incandescent bulb flashlights used 4.8V bulbs. Under load, 6V of drycells only put out this much voltage. A fully charged 6V wet cell batter say a sealed lead acid battery will be over 7V and instantly blow out a 4.8V bulb. Ask me how I know this...LOL This bulb works well with four cell flashlight. You wont be disappointed. It will be dimmer with fewer cells. Be aware the higher wattage LED bulbs will cause shorter battery life. Simple fact they draw more current. No free lunch.

I believe this is a sealed lead-acid battery, which would leave me be believe that it contains electrolytic plates and some form of fluid (water most likely). A dry cell, by definition, has all the required constituent components in the form of a paste, like the standard AA, C, or D cells used in flashlights and what not. Either way, the battery is sealed and requires no maintenance. It will work to power a light bulb. However, it is also designed to be rechargeable, this would be a very expensive 'disposable' battery.

I would be guessing with a yes or no answer.When I buy Odyssey batteries, I measure the size of the current battery or (better still) the size of the battery housing. Then i go to the Odyssey web site and select the biggest battery I can get that will fit into the battery holder/housing, making sure the post configuration is correct. ALL the information about each and every Odyssey battery is given on the web. site. In general, after I have determined I have the right battery (sounds daunting but it is real easy) I buy the best priced battery (most often on Amazon) and have it shipped. I have never been disappointed. Be aware of shipping costs. Batteries are heavy! Usually the biggest battery that fits will have more power in it than any other battery on the market of the same dimensions. If you live in a very hot climate, I suggest the metal jacket version which is very slightly bigger than the conventional version, but worth the price.

I just picked up a battery at my local fleet farm. The key is to ensure that you get a marine battery since it is going to be subjected to constant trickle charging and full discharge situations. Typically any marine battery will work as the system only needs 12volts to run on. They had a "Resolute MDC24" marine battery on sale, that stated you might be able to find one cheaper through Amazon Prime.

Yes, it will work fine. The milliampere /hours of the battery only have to do with power capacity ie batterylife. If the voltage is the same and the battery fits bigger mAh is better. Make sure the new one is therechargable type before you attempt to recharge it.

Yes it will. I have used a lipo from 800mh to 5800mh with no problem. Have fun.

Yes. I am currently using it for my dual battery set up in my land cruiser. Works perfect so far

Gene, really wished I had an answer as I have this battery. I plan on asking the maker of the battery tomorrow and I can let you know.

You will need to put the battery in some sort of case to be safe. The battery will short circuit if accidentally submerged. It could also suffer damage if left loose inside the hull. I use this in my Ocean kayak trident 13. This kayak comes with a mouted battery bag for the mentioned reasons. You may e able to buy the bag and mount it in your kayak.

sure it will pal, keep it in dry place...it works automatically... when battery is full charge it stops sending charge...when battery need charge it will auto start it will never burn or dry your battery

As long as your slash takes lipos which it does, this battery will work. I needed to make my stampede use straps to hold it but def. worth it

Not a dry cell. It is a sealed battery similar to a car battery, and it can be recharged.

I believe that it will. It will fully charge and maintain a motorcycle battery from dead to fully charged and it will maintain a car battery if it has a bit of a charge. There is more information in the owner's manual which I don't have with me at the moment. I use mine for my motorcycle and absolutely love it. I have a regular car charger, but this tends the battery and is much more convenient.

Yes should work fine. However be careful not to over discharge the battery . Normally you would want a deep cycle type of battery. Their big and heavy. Just be careful not to take discharge below 11.5 volts

I've used it with mine. It's a ResMed S9. Get a deep cycle marine / RV battery because a regular battery is not designed for this type of continuous use.
