The **12 V**, **115 Ah** **Deka 8G5SHP** with GEL technology is the standard replacement for power wheelchairs, mobility scooters and light electric vehicles. Measuring 344 × 171 × 290 mm, it is the direct replacement for power wheelchairs and mobility scooters fitted from the factory with a 115 Ah battery of this format.
- No maintenance, no water top-ups.
- Approved for air and sea transport (VRLA).
- GEL: excellent resistance to deep discharge and long cycle life.
- Sealed AGM/GEL: safe indoors and in transport.

### What the Deka 8G5SHP is for

With 115 Ah, the Deka 8G5SHP offers the daily range that power wheelchairs, mobility scooters and light electric vehicles need, with a sealed construction that is safe indoors. Check that it matches your current battery in dimensions, terminals and hold-down: this reference has a weight of 38.33 kg.

### Technology inside the Deka 8G5SHP

Within the Deka catalogue, the 8G5SHP is the 115 Ah model designed for this application.
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.

### Dimensions, polarity and mounting

It has external dimensions of 344 × 171 × 290 mm and weighs 38.33 kg. Checking the three dimensions and the terminal position before buying avoids the most common mistake when replacing a battery.

### Why choose Deka batteries

Deka batteries are known for their robust construction and consistent quality in automotive, marine, leisure and industrial use. 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. GEL batteries need lower charging voltages: always use a charger with a GEL mode so as not to damage the electrolyte.

### Official warranty

The Deka 8G5SHP 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.

### When you get it and how to return it

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 this battery GEL? What is the typical use?

Yes, this model is a GEL battery: sealed lead-acid where the electrolyte is in gel form. It tolerates deep discharges very well and is ideal for cyclic use (solar, motorhomes, electric wheelchairs, motorcycles). Requires a GEL-specific smart charger — max charge voltage ~14.1 V (vs 14.4-14.7 V for AGM). Lifespan 6-10 years.

### How do I change this battery step by step?

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 8G5SHP model?

Expected lifespan of the Deka 8G5SHP is 6 to 10 years in cyclic use (marine, caravan, solar) with controlled discharges. 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 size is this battery?

Dimensions (length × width × height) are 345×172×290 mm — also written as 345x172x290 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 8G5SHP 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.
