Interstate 8V golf cart batteries are lead-acid power solutions designed for multi-seat electric vehicles. As part of their Deep Cycle GC2 series, these industrial-grade batteries offer reliable performance in golf courses and resorts. Typical specifications include 170–190Ah capacity with 5–7 year lifespans under proper maintenance. For pricing guidance, we recommend contacting authorized distributors directly as manufacturer-to-dealer agreements prevent public disclosure of current MSRP figures.

What’s unique about Interstate’s 8V battery design?
Engineered with robust calcium-alloy grids and reinforced separators, these batteries withstand deep discharges better than standard models. Their dual-container construction prevents acid stratification during frequent charging cycles.
Pro Tip: Keep electrolyte levels 1/4″ above plates to prevent sulfation. In large installations like amusement parks, we’ve observed 30% longer runtime compared to generic 8V units when properly equalized monthly. However, actual results depend on load profiles and ambient temperatures.
How does pricing compare to lithium alternatives?
Interstate’s 8V lead-acid typically costs 40-60% less upfront than lithium equivalents. Yet over a 10-year period, lithium’s 3,000+ cycle life proves more economical despite higher initial investment.
| Parameter | Interstate 8V | Lithium 24V |

FAQs
Want OEM lithium forklift batteries at wholesale prices? Check here.
Most dealers provide 18-24 month pro-rated warranties, requiring monthly specific gravity checks for validation.
Can I upgrade to lithium without changing my charger?
No—lithium requires CC-CV charging profiles. Using lead-acid chargers risks incomplete charging or cell damage.
