What the Deka 8G24DT is for

The Deka 8G24DT is designed for power wheelchairs, mobility scooters and light electric vehicles. Wheelchairs and scooters normally use two identical batteries in series: replace them together. Check that it matches your current battery in dimensions, terminals and hold-down: this reference has a weight of 23.36 kg.

Will it fit your current battery tray?

The Deka 8G24DT is made in the 276 × 166 × 236 mm format and weighs 23.36 kg. Before replacing it, measure your current battery tray: if all three dimensions and the terminal positions match, the swap is direct and needs no adapters.

Technology inside the Deka 8G24DT

The 8G24DT is one of the Deka references for this type of use; it shares the same manufacturing and quality-control criteria as the rest of the brand's catalogue.

In a GEL battery the electrolyte is gelled with silica: it is fully sealed, cannot spill and tolerates deep discharge very well. It is the preferred technology in electric mobility, marine service and heavy-cycling applications.

How to make it last longer

Recharge the wheelchair or scooter after each use and do not leave it discharged for days: lead sulphates and loses capacity. GEL batteries need lower charging voltages: always use a charger with a GEL mode so as not to damage the electrolyte.

Manufacturer's warranty

The Deka 8G24DT 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.
