A maximum, not a target. BCI say the height shown includes raised quarter covers and that a flat-top design runs about 10 mm lower, and that batteries within a group “must be the same physical size (i.e., within 2mm)”.

Packs whose maker names group GC8

  • Trojan Battery Company T-875 8V Flooded Lead Acidover on one axis

    283 × 259 × 179 mm, largest side first, against 277 × 264 × 183 mm · margin -6, +5, +4 mm

    Over the group’s maximum on one axis by 6 mm. BCI’s maximum includes raised quarter covers, so a published height a few millimetres outside it may be measuring to a different point rather than describing a different battery.

Other packs measured against this envelope

Their makers do not call these group GC8. The comparison is three subtractions between two sets of published figures, and it says nothing about voltage, terminals or which cart the tray belongs to.
