Designed for power wheelchairs, mobility scooters and light electric vehicles, the Deka 8A24DT offers 79 Ah of deep-cycle capacity with AGM technology. It replaces the original battery without adaptation in power wheelchairs and mobility scooters with a 276 × 166 × 236 mm format: same 79 Ah capacity.

  • AGM technology: absorbed electrolyte, no spills, can be mounted at an angle.
  • Designed to be discharged and recharged daily without losing capacity.
  • Thousands of useful cycles over its lifetime.
  • Standard replacement format for wheelchairs and scooters.

What the Deka 8A24DT is for

The Deka 8A24DT is the usual replacement in power wheelchairs, mobility scooters and light electric vehicles. Recharge after each use and avoid leaving it discharged for days. Check that it matches your current battery in dimensions, terminals and hold-down: this reference has a weight of 23.59 kg.

Size, terminals and hold-down of the Deka 8A24DT

In terms of format, the Deka 8A24DT measures 276 × 166 × 236 mm (length × width × height) and weighs 23.59 kg. For a direct replacement, the current battery tray must accept these dimensions and the same terminal layout; otherwise adapters will be needed or the hold-down will change.

Deka: the maker behind the 8A24DT

Deka (East Penn Manufacturing) is the largest single-site lead battery manufacturer in the United States, with full control of the process from lead recycling to the finished battery. All the Deka batteries in our catalogue are genuine product, recently manufactured and covered by the manufacturer's warranty.

Technology inside the Deka 8A24DT

Deka builds the 8A24DT to the same standards as the rest of its catalogue; what changes between references is capacity, format and terminal position.

In an AGM battery the electrolyte is absorbed in glass-fibre separators: there is no free liquid, it cannot spill and it can be mounted at an angle. That construction lowers internal resistance, speeds up recharging and multiplies cycle life compared with a conventional battery.

Usage and maintenance tips

Charge with a charger that has an AGM mode: it limits the voltage and protects the glass-fibre separators. Use the original charger or one compatible with the battery technology (AGM/GEL) and always replace both batteries in the set together.

Manufacturer's warranty

The Deka 8A24DT comes with the manufacturer's official warranty against manufacturing defects. If it fails through a defect within the warranty period, we replace it at no cost to you.

Delivery times and returns

Order before 6:00 pm with stock available and it leaves today: mainland Spain and Portugal receive it in 24-48 working hours, the islands and the rest of the EU in 3 to 5 days. You have 14 days to return it if it has not been installed, with free collection on the mainland, and shipment tracking by email.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Deka 8A24DT an AGM battery and what are the benefits of AGM?

Yes. The 8A24DT from Deka uses AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) technology: a sealed lead-acid battery where the electrolyte is absorbed in a glass-fibre mat. It withstands more charge/discharge cycles than a conventional one, handles heat better and is the required technology for devices with advanced Start-Stop and regenerative braking. Expected lifespan: 5-8 years under normal conditions.

How do I fit the 8A24DT model in my device?

In most devices it fits in 15-30 minutes with a 10 mm wrench; if the battery is under the seat or in the boot the time can double. See the step-by-step guide on our blog. Quick summary: 1) switch off the engine and remove the key; 2) locate the original battery (engine bay, boot or under seat); 3) disconnect the negative (−) terminal first, then the positive (+); 4) loosen the hold-down clamp and remove the old battery; 5) fit the new one in the same orientation — match the polarity shown on the product sheet; 6) connect the positive (+) first, then the negative (−). On devices with Start-Stop or BMS, register the battery via OBD so the alternator applies the correct charging profile.

What is the service life of the 8A24DT model?

Expected lifespan of the Deka 8A24DT is 5 to 8 years in mild-climate device use with Start-Stop. In cold regions it drops slightly due to cold-start stress; in very hot regions it also drops because of electrolyte evaporation. To extend its life: avoid deep discharges (headlights on with engine off), have the alternator checked yearly, and keep the battery clean and properly secured.

What are the dimensions of the Deka 8A24DT battery?

Dimensions (length × width × height) are 277×167×237 mm — also written as 277x167x237 mm — following the European DIN standard. Always measure the space in your device before buying: even one extra millimetre can prevent the hold-down clamp from closing. The height shown includes the terminals.

What are the equivalents of the 8A24DT model?

Directly interchangeable batteries (same dimensions, same polarity, same Ah and CCA) are the OEM equivalents from leading brands: Bosch, Tudor, Exide and, depending on the model, Banner or Yuasa. Exact equivalence depends on technology — an EFB cannot be replaced with a conventional battery in Start-Stop devices. See the "Equivalents" section to view recommended options at the same performance level.
