What the Deka 8G40 is for
The Deka 8G40 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 14.29 kg.
Technology inside the Deka 8G40
Deka builds the 8G40 to the same standards as the rest of its catalogue; what changes between references is capacity, format and terminal position.
GEL technology fixes the acid in a solid gel. That removes maintenance and leaks and gives very long cycle life, in exchange for slightly slower recharging and lower peak current than an AGM.
Size, terminals and hold-down of the Deka 8G40
In terms of format, the Deka 8G40 measures 197 × 168 × 174 mm (length × width × height) and weighs 14.29 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.
Why choose Deka batteries
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. We guarantee that every Deka arrives new, charged and with the manufacturer's full warranty.
How to make it last longer
Use the original charger or one compatible with the battery technology (AGM/GEL) and always replace both batteries in the set together. Recharge the wheelchair or scooter after each use and do not leave it discharged for days: lead sulphates and loses capacity.
Warranty and coverage
The Deka 8G40 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.
Shipping, delivery and returns
Orders placed before 6:00 pm with the battery in stock ship the same day. Delivery in mainland Spain and Portugal takes 24-48 working hours; for the Balearic Islands and the rest of the European Union allow 3 to 5 working days. You have 14 days to return an unused battery; in mainland Spain and Portugal collection is free. We email you the tracking number as soon as the parcel ships.

Frequently asked questions
Is this battery GEL? What is the typical use?
Yes, GEL technology (40 Ah): a sealed lead-acid battery whose electrolyte is in gel form. Designed for cyclic use (solar installations, motorhomes, electric wheelchairs, motorcycles), it tolerates deep discharges very well. It needs a GEL-specific smart charger: its maximum charge voltage is lower than that of an AGM.
What are the dimensions of the Deka 8G40 battery?
Check the room available in your device, because a single millimetre too much can stop the clamp from closing. Its dimensions are 197×168×175 mm, also written 197x168x175 mm; the height already includes the terminals.
