Frequently Asked Questions

What is a 8D commercial battery used for?

Group 8D commercial batteries are commonly used to start large engines in heavy equipment, commercial vehicles, generators, agricultural equipment and marine vessels.

Is the 8D-1300 a deep-cycle battery?

No. The 8D-1300 is designed primarily as a heavy-duty commercial starting battery. It delivers high cranking power but is not intended for repeated deep discharge and recharge cycles.

Can this battery replace any Group 8D battery?

Not necessarily. Group 8D identifies the general case size, but batteries can differ in chemistry, cranking performance, terminal configuration and intended use. Confirm the equipment requirements before replacing an AGM, gel or deep-cycle 8D battery.
