Trojan 8D-AGM 12V 230Ah is a solar battery designed for PV systems with daily charge/discharge cycles. Tolerates extreme temperatures well, with low self-discharge during winter shutdowns or between stays at vacation homes.
Why this solar battery?
- Designed for solar systemsoptimised for daily charge/discharge cycles
- Handles extreme temperaturesin technical rooms or outdoor installs
- Minimal self-dischargewhen left idle over winter or holidays

Solar battery Trojan 8D-AGM 230Ah 12V
The 12 V, 230 Ah Trojan 8D-AGM solar battery with AGM technology is designed for off-grid photovoltaic installations and storage systems. It replaces the original battery without adaptation in off-grid PV systems with a 520 × 270 × 231 mm format: same 230 Ah capacity.
- AGM technology: absorbed electrolyte, no spills, can be mounted at an angle.
- Optimised for daily charge and discharge cycles.
- Good tolerance to extreme temperatures.
- Long life on float and moderate cycling.
What the Trojan 8D-AGM is for
With 230 Ah, the Trojan 8D-AGM stores the energy from your panels for the night and cloudy days. Check that it matches your current battery in dimensions, terminals and hold-down: this reference has a weight of 73 kg and 6 terminals.
Dimensions, polarity and mounting
It has external dimensions of 520 × 270 × 231 mm and weighs 73 kg. It uses 6 terminals, the system that anchors and connects it in the vehicle. Checking the three dimensions and the terminal position before buying avoids the most common mistake when replacing a battery.
Technology inside the Trojan 8D-AGM
Within the Trojan catalogue, the 8D-AGM is the 230 Ah model designed for this application.
In an AGM battery the electrolyte is absorbed in glass-fibre separators: there is no free liquid, it cannot spill and it can be mounted at an angle. That construction lowers internal resistance, speeds up recharging and multiplies cycle life compared with a conventional battery.
Why choose Trojan batteries
Founded in 1925 in California, Trojan invented the golf cart battery and remains the standard in deep-discharge applications that demand thousands of cycles. All the Trojan batteries in our catalogue are genuine product, recently manufactured and covered by the manufacturer's warranty.
Manufacturer's warranty
The Trojan 8D-AGM 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.
Care and maintenance
In the darker months, check the voltage periodically and avoid full discharges. Charge with a charger that has an AGM mode: it limits the voltage and protects the glass-fibre separators.
Shipping, delivery and returns
Same-day dispatch from our warehouse for in-stock orders placed before 6:00 pm: 24-48 working hours in mainland Spain and Portugal, 3 to 5 days in the islands and the rest of Europe. Returns are accepted for 14 days if the battery has not been used (free collection on the Iberian mainland). You will receive tracking by email.

Frequently asked questions
Is the 8D-AGM model AGM? What does this technology offer?
Yes. The 8D-AGM from Trojan uses AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) technology: a sealed lead-acid battery where the electrolyte is absorbed in a glass-fibre mat. It withstands more charge/discharge cycles than a conventional one, handles heat better and is the required technology for devices with advanced Start-Stop and regenerative braking. Expected lifespan: 5-8 years under normal conditions.
How do I fit the 8D-AGM model in my device?
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 many years does this battery last?
Expected lifespan of the Trojan 8D-AGM is 5 to 8 years in mild-climate device use with 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 Trojan 8D-AGM battery?
Dimensions (length × width × height) are 520×270×231 mm — also written as 520x270x231 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 interchangeable batteries are there for this one?
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.
