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.

Frequently asked questions
How is the Q-battery 8DC-170 battery installed in the vehicle?
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.
How long does the Q-battery 8DC-170 battery last?
Expected lifespan of the Q-battery 8DC-170 is 4 to 6 years in regular device use without 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 Q-battery 8DC-170 battery?
Dimensions (length × width × height) are 260×180×275 mm — also written as 260x180x275 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.
Which batteries are equivalent to the Q-battery 8DC-170?
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.
