The T875 AES 8V battery is a deep-cycle lead-acid battery designed for sustained power delivery in electric vehicles like golf carts and utility vehicles. Its 8V/170Ah configuration provides balanced voltage and capacity for series configurations (commonly 48V or 72V systems), while its thick plates and reinforced construction ensure durability under frequent deep discharges.

What distinguishes the T875 AES 8V’s voltage design?
The 8V architecture bridges the gap between 6V and 12V systems, allowing fewer batteries per pack (e.g., six 8V units for 48V instead of eight 6V). This reduces wiring complexity and weight while maintaining runtime through its 170Ah capacity.

Unlike standard automotive batteries optimized for short bursts, the T875 AES employs thick tubular plates and high-density active material to withstand 600–800 cycles at 80% depth of discharge. For example, a six-battery 48V system delivers 8.16kWh gross energy, suitable for 18-hole golf courses with 15–25% hill grades. Transitionally, its modular design also simplifies partial replacements when individual cells degrade.
How does the 170Ah capacity impact performance?
The 170Ah rating enables extended operation between charges—approximately 35–45 miles per charge for 48V golf carts. Lower self-discharge rates (≤3% monthly) further support seasonal use patterns.

| Metric | T875 AES | Standard 8V |
|---|---|---|
| Cycle Life | 800 cycles | 500 cycles |
| Peak Current | 850A | 650A |
| Weight | 63 lbs | 58 lbs |
Practically speaking, the higher lead content in plates increases mass but improves charge retention. One real-world analogy: Using T875 AES in a 6-battery setup is like swapping a sedan’s engine for a truck’s diesel unit—same space, greater torque endurance.

FAQs
Yes, but store at full charge in frost-free areas. Below -15°C, electrolyte freezing risks plate warping—insulate packs or use maintenance chargers.
Are these compatible with lithium upgrades?
No—lead-acid and lithium systems require different charging profiles and BMS. Retrofit kits must replace all batteries and controllers simultaneously.
