Note: This table chart  only provides related information of the battery dimensions and not their orientation or work policy and purpose. 

This article guides you about a  different battery size chart. Don’t be confused because most of the battery dimensions are similar. But performance is different. Some are good for heavy duty, some for light work. Pick the best one according to the need and instructions of the power applications. 

When you pick batteries check the size, performance, categories, work process and other necessary things. 

Here are small descriptions of some common BCI batteries. That provides some related information about this area. 

Group 24 Batteries Related Information

This group of batteries is used for general-purpose. Most of them are used for large UPS, medical and security systems, vehicles, wheelchairs, industrial applications, etc.  These are easy to use and come at affordable prices. 

They are hardly used for starting/cranking batteries; rather 24 group batteries are used in deep cycle standby/float applications.

Group 27 Batteries Capacity

The group 27 batteries are powerful and large batteries. It features a 20h capacity in the 66-110 Ah range and provides 600-1000 CCA. The RC rate is 140-220 in minutes. Product weight between 14 to 33 kg. Most of the time this battery is used for heavy-duty work. 

Group GC12 Batteries Informations 

BCI Group GC12 batteries are deep cycle batteries. This battery is also known as the 12V golf cart battery. It’s a heavy-duty battery that is suitable for automotive and off-the-grid batteries. It is used for , and light industrial works for durability and performance. 

This is popular for work with the trolling motor batteries  and medical and security system, RV house batteries and so on. 

Group 75 Batteries

These batteries are suitable for the automotive and light industry. Comes with stand prices. Very popular for the performance because it is good for starting features. BCI group 75 is used for different work. They have the ability to work with different vehicles including cars and trucks. You can also use them for powering different items like light, pums  and many more. 

Group GC2 and Group GC2H Batteries Ability 

You can pick these batteries for heavy duty. The BCI group GC2 and Group GC2H batteries are both deep cycle and heavy-duty batteries. Most of the time they apply for golf carts and other automotive items. These cattery batteries also work as deep cycle batteries in marine and off-the-grid applications.

BCI Group 4D and 8D Batteries Features and Specifications

Both batteries are large and heavy lead-acid. They are heavy-duty batteries because both have the ability to store large amounts of energy. They are strong and durable for a long time. 

BCI group 4D and 8D are popular to work with in automotive, marine applications and industrial purposes. 

Final Directions

Hope that you get information about the group battery size. This will help you to choose the right battery for your work. Before buying any battery first follow the instructions of the manufacturer if you want to replace the battery for your old devices. Or if you need to pick the best one for your work or projects research properly so that you can pick the best one for you or your clients.
