Trojan T-875 ELPT Deep-Cycle Lead-Acid Battery 8V 170Ah

The Trojan T-875 is a high-performance, low-maintenance 8-volt wet-cell battery which has been specially developed for the extreme demands in challenging deep-cycle applications in 48-volt systems. As part of Trojan’s renowned Signature Line, the world’s leading manufacturer of deep-cycle batteries, it offers exceptional service life and reliability. With its large 170 Ah capacity, it is the ideal energy source for fleets of golf carts, utility vehicles, and other electrically powered vehicles.

Highlights at a glance

• Optimised for 48V systems: Six 8V batteries provide an efficient and balanced solution for 48V vehicle fleets.
• Maximum cycle durability: Designed for repeated deep discharge and charge cycles in the toughest commercial service.
• Robust Trojan construction: Advanced T2 Technology® design with DuraGrid™ grid technology for longer service life and greater efficiency.
• Embedded Low Profile Terminal: Flat, embedded terminals for space-saving installation and improved safety.
• Low-maintenance: Only regular checks of the water level are required to ensure maximum service life.

Unrivalled performance for demanding applications

The Trojan T-875 is the first choice for commercial and industrial 48V applications where stamina and reliability are key. Its main area of use is in the energy supply of golf cart fleets, electric utility and transport vehicles (utility vehicles), and in electric lifting and work platforms. Wherever machines need to work reliably for many hours every day, this battery provides the necessary power.

Superior deep-cycle technology

Trojan batteries have been the industry standard for true deep-cycle performance for decades. The exclusive T2 Technology®, with Alpha Plus® paste formulation, provides maximum electrochemical efficiency and slows down the ageing process of the active mass. The DuraGrid™ grid architecture offers superior corrosion resistance and improved current flow, resulting in higher overall performance and longer battery life.

Built for durability and efficiency

The design of the T-875 is intended for maximum robustness and ease of maintenance. The impact-resistant polypropylene case withstands the rigours of everyday use. The low-maintenance design only requires regular checks and, if necessary, topping up with distilled water, to maintain the full capacity and service life of the battery for many years. This makes it an extremely economical solution for professional fleet operators.

FAQs about the Trojan T-875 deep-cycle battery

What does "Deep Cycle" mean?

"Deep Cycle" means the battery is designed to regularly supply a large proportion (up to 80%) of its stored energy and then be fully recharged again without rapidly losing capacity. This is essential for supply and traction applications.

Why are 8V batteries used for golf carts?

Many modern golf carts and utility vehicles use a 48-volt system. By connecting six 8V batteries in series (6 x 8V = 48V), fewer batteries are required than with 6V models (eight) and there are fewer connections, increasing the reliability of the system.

What is the advantage of the "Embedded Low Profile Terminal" (ELPT)?

This embedded, flat terminal offers a very secure and compact connection option, often via a bolted ring terminal. The low profile is advantageous for installations with limited height, as is often the case in vehicle battery compartments, and reduces the risk of short circuits.

What does "low-maintenance" mean?

As a low-maintenance wet-cell battery, the fluid level (electrolyte) in the cells must be checked regularly and only topped up with distilled water when necessary. Correct maintenance is crucial for achieving maximum service life. Automatic water refilling systems are available as an option for larger fleets.

How should this lead-acid battery be disposed of?

Lead-acid batteries contain environmentally harmful substances and must not be disposed of with household waste. You can return your old battery to any retailer selling new batteries or to local recycling centres free of charge to ensure proper disposal.
