For off-grid photovoltaic installations and storage systems, the Trojan 8V-GEL stores 140 Ah with GEL technology through daily charge and discharge cycles. Its 262 × 181 × 276 mm make it the exact replacement for the 140 Ah battery fitted as standard to many off-grid PV systems.

  • Low self-discharge during the darker months.
  • GEL: excellent resistance to deep discharge and long cycle life.
  • Compatible with common MPPT and PWM controllers.
  • Maintenance-free in off-grid installations.

What the Trojan 8V-GEL is for

The Trojan 8V-GEL is designed for off-grid photovoltaic installations and storage systems. Size the capacity so as not to discharge more than 50% daily and you will greatly extend its life. Check that it matches your current battery in dimensions, terminals and hold-down: this reference has a weight of 32 kg and 6 terminals.

Technology inside the Trojan 8V-GEL

Trojan builds the 8V-GEL 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 Trojan 8V-GEL

In terms of format, the Trojan 8V-GEL measures 262 × 181 × 276 mm (length × width × height) and weighs 32 kg. It uses 6 terminals, the system that anchors and connects it in the vehicle. 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.

Trojan: the maker behind the 8V-GEL

Trojan Battery is the world reference in deep-cycle batteries: golf carts, cleaning machines, aerial platforms and solar systems rely on its T2 technology and longevity. We guarantee that every Trojan arrives new, charged and with the manufacturer's full warranty.

Care and maintenance

Size the installation so as not to discharge the battery more than 50% daily and set the controller to the battery technology. GEL batteries need lower charging voltages: always use a charger with a GEL mode so as not to damage the electrolyte.

Manufacturer's warranty

The Trojan 8V-GEL 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

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 the Trojan 8V-GEL a GEL battery? What is GEL used for?

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.

What size is this battery?

Dimensions (length × width × height) are 262×181×276 mm — also written as 262x181x276 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.
