The Q-Battery 8DC-170 is a 170 Ah, 8 V traction battery for forklifts, pallet trucks, stackers and aerial work platforms. Its 260 × 180 × 275 mm make it the exact replacement for the 170 Ah battery fitted as standard to many forklifts and pallet trucks.

  • Direct replacement in size and connections.
  • Sealed and safe indoors.
  • Reinforced plates for repeated deep discharges.
  • Good balance of capacity, cranking power and price.

What the Q-Battery 8DC-170 is for

With 170 Ah, the Q-Battery 8DC-170 forms part of the traction sets of forklifts, pallet trucks, stackers and aerial work platforms. Follow the manufacturer's charging regime to extend its life. Check that it matches your current battery in dimensions, terminals and hold-down: this reference has a weight of 29 kg and ET terminals.

Size, terminals and hold-down of the Q-Battery 8DC-170

It has external dimensions of 260 × 180 × 275 mm and weighs 29 kg. It uses ET terminals, the system that anchors and connects it in the vehicle. 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.

What Q-Battery does differently

Q-Battery specialises in AGM and GEL VRLA batteries for UPS, telecoms, solar and deep cycling, with long-life and tubular-plate series for industrial use. We guarantee that every Q-Battery arrives new, charged and with the manufacturer's full warranty.

The Q-Battery 8DC-170: Deep Cycle Battery range and conventional lead-acid technology

Within the Q-Battery catalogue, the Deep Cycle Battery series groups the references designed for this use. The 8DC-170 is the 170 Ah model of that family, with the same performance as its siblings in other sizes.

In a conventional battery the electrolyte is liquid and the lead plates are immersed in it. It is a mature, economical and easily recycled technology, ideal for starting vehicles in normal use.

Care and maintenance

On batteries with filler caps, check the electrolyte level and top up only with distilled water. Replace the complete set at once and watch the operating temperature in hot warehouses.

Manufacturer's warranty

The Q-Battery 8DC-170 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.
