READING, Pa. – EnerSys, the global leader in stored energy solutions for industrial applications and the manufacturer of ODYSSEY batteries, once again has been named an official sponsor of Brian Deegan, a pioneer in action sports with 16 X Games medals, a six-time short course off-road truck champion, a Global Rallycross racer and freestyle motocross rider.

As an official sponsor, EnerSys will support Deegan’s #38 Pro 2 and Pro 4 race trucks in the Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series (LOORRS). Deegan also will use an ODYSSEY® battery in the Ford Fiesta ST he will drive in the 2015 Red Bull Global Rallycross series with Ganassi Racing.

ODYSSEY® batteries are designed with an Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM) construction and Thin Plate Pure Lead (TPPL) technology for more engine-cranking power and reserve power than conventional batteries.

ODYSSEY® batteries feature a three- to 10-year service life and two-year storage life at 77 degrees Fahrenheit (25 degrees Celsius). They are vibration resistant, classified as “non-spillable” by the U.S. Department of Transportation and include a limited two- to four-year full replacement warranty.

The ODYSSEY® battery logo will be prominently displayed on the race trucks, driver’s suits and the LOORRS team semi-truck and hauler.

“Brian Deegan is a legend in the motocross, short course off-road and rally car world,” said Maria Orlando-Krick, marketing content and sponsorship manager at EnerSys. “We’re proud that he has chosen ODYSSEY® batteries to power his vehicles in demanding racing conditions.”

Brian Deegan’s LOORRS #38 Rockstar Energy Drink/Makita/Ford race truck debuted with ODYSSEY® battery by EnerSys as its official sponsor at Lake Elsinore Motorsports Park in Lake Elsinore, Calif., on March 20-21.

“Working with the best partners in their respective fields, such as ODYSSEY® battery, is an honor and privilege, as we build the strongest team possible both on and off the track. We are looking forward to another great year of racing with ODYSSEY® battery products,” said Deegan.
