Trojan Motive T-875 EHPT 170Ah 8V Deep-Cycle Flooded Battery Golf Cart & Industrial

The Trojan Motive T-875 170Ah 8V Deep-Cycle Battery is the industry standard for 48V electric vehicle systems, engineered specifically for motive power applications. Built to deliver high-capacity, steady energy output for vehicles and machinery operating heavily throughout the day with overnight recharging, the T-875 represents the optimal balance of voltage, capacity, and durability. The EHPT (Embedded High Profile Terminal) designation ensures durable, molded-in terminals providing secure, high-conductivity connections with easy attachment for heavy-duty battery cables.

Key Applications

48V Golf Carts - Primary Application The #1 purpose of this battery. Modern 48V golf carts from manufacturers like Club Car and Yamaha are designed for six 8V batteries (6 × 8V = 48V). This configuration provides the ideal balance of high voltage for speed and torque with 170Ah capacity for extended range on the course.

Industrial Floor Care Equipment Powers medium-to-large floor scrubbers and burnishers operating on 24V, 36V, or 48V systems. Delivers the deep-cycling durability required for sustained facility cleaning operations.

Aerial Work Platforms Used in scissor lifts requiring 48V systems, providing the deep-cycling endurance needed for full-day up-and-down operation on construction sites and industrial facilities.

Specialized Solar Storage While 6V and 12V dominate solar applications, 8V batteries are occasionally used in custom off-grid banks to reach specific system voltages or maximize plate thickness for long-term cycling performance.

Advanced Features

EHPT (Embedded High Profile Terminal) Durable molded-in terminal design provides secure, high-conductivity electrical connections. The taller profile facilitates easy attachment of heavy-duty battery cables, ensuring robust connections for demanding motive power applications.

T2 Technology™ Incorporates Trojan's Alpha Plus® Paste and Maxguard® T2 Separator. These advanced internal components increase total energy capacity and significantly extend the number of charge/discharge cycles the battery can endure, maximizing operational lifespan.

Optimized 8V Configuration Specialized voltage provides the perfect balance for 48V systems—fewer batteries than 6V configurations (six vs. eight batteries) simplify installation and maintenance while delivering optimal voltage for speed, torque, and range.

Rugged Polypropylene Case The iconic maroon case is engineered to withstand high-vibration environments typical of golf carts and industrial warehouses, ensuring reliable performance in demanding operational conditions.

High Energy Density Delivers 170Ah capacity and 1.36 kWh energy output in standard GC8 footprint. A complete 48V system provides approximately 8.1 kWh total stored energy for extended operational runtime.

Maintenance Requirements

The T-875 is a flooded lead-acid battery requiring regular watering to achieve its full lifespan of typically 4-6 years. Check electrolyte levels every few weeks and replenish with distilled water only. Proper maintenance is essential for maximizing performance and service life.

Why Choose the T-875 EHPT?

The T-875 EHPT represents the industry-standard solution for 48V electric vehicle systems, particularly golf carts. The 8V configuration offers significant advantages: simpler wiring with six batteries instead of eight 6V batteries, while maintaining optimal voltage for performance. EHPT terminals ensure secure, easy cable connections for professional installations. Backed by T2 Technology and Trojan's legendary reliability, the T-875 EHPT delivers uncompromising performance for operations demanding daily deep-cycle dependability.
