Description
The Trojan T-890 is the higher-capacity 8V GC8: 190 Ah at the 20-hour rate and 340 minutes at 25 A, against 170 Ah and 295 minutes for the T-875, in the same case size. Choose it when you want more range from a six-battery 48V pack without changing trays or cables.
Choose your terminal. This battery comes with ELPT or EHPT terminals, all at the same price. ELPT is a low-profile threaded stud (5/16 in bolt). EHPT is a taller threaded stud (5/16 in bolt). Pick the one that matches your current batteries so your cables bolt straight on. See the Fitment Guide or send us a photo if you’re not sure.

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
Trojan’s advice for flooded batteries: charge after every use and don’t leave the pack sitting discharged. Check the electrolyte level regularly and add distilled water only after charging, never before (unless the plates are exposed). Keep the tops clean and dry, the terminals free of corrosion and the connections tight at the torque on the data sheet. For storage, charge fully first and recharge every few weeks; Trojan rates self-discharge at 5-15% a month, faster in hot weather.
Warranty
12-month free-replacement warranty from Trojan against defects in materials and workmanship, for the original purchaser, from the date on your receipt. Trojan’s warranty excludes damage from low electrolyte, over- or under-charging, freezing and similar neglect, so keep up with watering and charging. See trojanbattery.com for full warranty terms.
Shipping and delivery
Lead-acid batteries ship by truck freight. Choose “Freight quote” at checkout and we’ll call you with the freight cost before we charge any shipping, or choose local delivery if you’re in our delivery area. See our Shipping page for the local delivery area and fee.
Core charge
Each flooded or AGM lead-acid battery adds an $18 core charge at checkout. Lithium batteries, chargers, and parts do not. The core charge is refunded when we receive your old lead-acid battery. It’s waived with local delivery when the old battery is removed and ready for pickup.
