D8 Batterys
« on: June 04, 2008, 12:52:32 AM »
Hello

   Any one have any info of D8 Battery 12 volt.

I have just got a hold of 2 D8's for an Okay price but have no idea what the CCA or Ah.s are. Is there any way to find out?


   There are know Labels or markings on them just D8 on the side.

I do know any are very heavy Any info please let me know i Checked the Voltage and they are both at 12.8 volts and they have been sitting for a week so i am told.

Is it possible these are from a D8 bulldozer? If they are in pairs, and they are 12V each, I "think" Caterpillar diesels often use a 24V starter. Just a thought...

Probably they are "8D" batteries. Which, by odd chance, some D8 Caterpillar tractors have/had.


Batteries normally start with the number of the 'group', then a suffix for further identification. As I remember, the 8D weighs about 170 pounds - teh next smaller, the 4D, weighs about 125 pounds.
