Frequently Asked Questions

Can the VTD8-170 be connected in series?

Yes. The VTD8-170 can be connected in series to create 24V or 48V battery banks for golf carts, industrial equipment, and other deep cycle applications. Always use batteries of the same age, capacity, and state of charge when connecting them in series.

What are the advantages of AGM batteries over flooded batteries?

AGM batteries are sealed, maintenance-free, and spill-proof, eliminating the need for regular watering. They are ideal for customers looking for a low-maintenance battery. Flooded batteries generally have a lower upfront cost but require periodic watering and maintenance.

Is there a lower-cost alternative to this battery?

Yes. If you don’t require a maintenance-free AGM battery, consider our 8V 190Ah flooded deep cycle battery. It offers excellent performance for golf carts at a lower purchase price but requires periodic watering and maintenance.
