Description
The Interstate GC8-HCL is a 8V GC8 deep-cycle golf cart battery with 170 Ah of capacity (20-hour rate) and 295 minutes of reserve capacity at 25 A. Interstate’s High Cycle golf cart batteries offer solid reserve capacity and a long cycle life, with deeper discharge capability so you can drive farther without shortening battery life.
Choose your terminal. This battery comes with UT or UTL terminals, all at the same price. Pick the terminal that matches your cart’s battery cables (Interstate lists the UT terminal first as standard). See the Fitment Guide for how to tell them apart.

Fitment
For golf carts that run 8V lead-acid batteries: six 8V batteries make a 48V cart. Order one battery for each position and replace the whole set at once. Check that the group size (GC8) and terminal type match your current batteries and cables, or send us a photo of a battery label and we’ll confirm.
Care
Interstate recommends charging after every use and not letting the battery sit discharged. Top off the cells with distilled water only, after charging. Clean the terminals with a baking soda and water solution and keep connections tight. In storage, keep the battery fully charged, and don’t let a lead-acid battery drop below 50% charge.
Warranty
