8V Batteries
GC8 flooded deep cycle cells for 48V lift, scrubber and utility banks that need more capacity than a 6V string in the same space.
8V Deep Cycle
GC8 flooded cells for industrial series banks.
When Six Batteries Will Not Fit
Eight-volt cells exist because some machines need 48 volts and only have room for six batteries. Six 8V cells make 48V in the space a 36V bank would otherwise take — which is why they turn up so often in lifts and scrubbers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Choosing the Right Battery
Why does my machine use 8V batteries instead of 6V?
To reach a higher system voltage in fewer battery positions. Six 8V cells give 48V where six 6V cells would only give 36V — same tray count, more volts.
Can I wire lower-voltage batteries in series instead?
You can, and plenty of systems still do — two 6V batteries in series make 12V, three 12V make 36V. A single higher-voltage lithium battery replaces that whole string with one case, one set of terminals and far less weight.
How do I know which group size I need?
Group size describes the case dimensions and terminal layout, not the capacity. Match the group size stamped on your current battery — every product page lists the group size and dimensions so you can confirm it fits the tray you already have.
Charging & Maintenance
Can I mix 6V and 8V batteries in one bank?
No. Every battery in a series string must be the same voltage, capacity, chemistry and age, or the mismatched cells will be over- or under-charged on every cycle.
Warranty & Support
What warranty comes with these batteries?
Terms vary by product line — the term for each battery is listed on its product page, and the full details are on our Warranty Information page. Register your battery online after purchase to activate coverage.
What if I am still not sure which one to buy?
Call our US-based battery team on 1-800-827-3232 before you order. Tell us the machine, the tray you are working with and how long you need to run between charges, and we will point you at the right part number, or message us.
