Step up to raw commercial durability and secure your energy independence with the legendary engineering of Bosch!
Information
The Bosch G876 8V 170Ah Battery represents the benchmark for heavy-duty, long-life deep-cycle performance in an 8-volt footprint. Built with thick, premium lead grids and a traditional open-flooded configuration, this battery is engineered to survive continuous deep discharges and rugged cyclic workloads.
By pairing these heavy-duty 8-volt units in a series connection, you can easily construct highly resilient 24V, 32V, or 48V energy banks custom-tailored for New Zealand’s electric vehicle fleets, remote baches, and heavy commercial scrubbers. It is a premium investment in raw storage capacity, ensuring you have dependable, heavy-duty power right when you need it most.
Features
- Motive Power Grid Design: Specially reinforced thick internal plates designed to withstand intense, repetitive daily deep-cycling.
- Optimized 170Ah Capacity: Offers massive energy storage and exceptional reserve time for long-term fleet or off-grid endurance.
- Superior Overcharge Tolerance: Flooded design is highly resilient to high-voltage solar conditioning and equalisation charges.
- Flexible Bank Architecture: Easily linked in series to build high-capacity 24V, 32V, or 48V banks to match your specific system needs.
- Vibration-Resistant Casing: Heavy-walled, commercial-grade polypropylene case protects against harsh Kiwi terrain, tracks, and turf.
- Industry-Standard 8V Footprint: Traditional group size ensures a seamless, drop-in replacement for existing commercial golf buggies and utility vehicles.

Charging Recommendations
To optimize the lifespan and performance of your Bosch 8V 170Ah flooded battery, always use a smart charger or charge controller configured with a dedicated Flooded/Wet Cell profile that supports 8V increments (VERY RARE) or total bank voltages (24v chargers x3 at a time are best recommended, 48v battery bank chargers if you have a 48v battery bank =x6 8v batteries).
- Charging Profile: Select "Flooded", "Wet Cell", or "Deep Cycle" (Do NOT use AGM or Gel settings, as they charge at lower voltages that cause acid layering).
- Recommended Charging Current: A bulk charging current between 17A and 42A (10% to 25% of the Ah capacity) is ideal to promote proper electrolyte mixing.
- Bulk/Absorption Voltage: 9.6V – 9.9V per battery (e.g., 28.8V – 29.7V for a 24V bank / 57.6V – 59.4V for a 48V bank at 25°C).
- Float Voltage: 8.8V – 9.0V per battery (e.g., 26.4V – 27.0V for a 24V bank / 52.8V – 54.0V for a 48V bank at 25°C).
- Equalisation Charge: Perform a periodic controlled overcharge (equalisation) according to your solar controller or fleet charger instructions to balance cells and prevent sulfation.
Smart Advice for Maintenance
- Check Fluid Levels Monthly: Because it is a flooded battery, liquid will naturally evaporate during heavy charging. Regularly check the cell levels and top them up strictly with distilled water—never use tap water or top up with raw acid.
- Water After Charging: Always top up fluid levels after a full charge is complete, unless the internal lead plates are completely exposed, in which case add just enough distilled water to submerge the plates before plugging it in.
- Ventilation is Mandatory: Flooded batteries vent small amounts of hydrogen gas during heavy recharging cycles. Always install them in a well-ventilated enclosure and never inside airtight vehicle passenger cabins.
- Avoid Leaving Discharged: Recharge the battery immediately after use. Leaving a flooded battery in a flat or deeply discharged state will quickly lead to permanent sulfation and capacity loss.
- Keep Terminals Clean: Periodically check that terminal connections are tight. Coat them with terminal grease or petroleum jelly to prevent corrosion and high-resistance contact points.
