How low can a 8 volt battery be drained w/out risking damage to it?

at 8 volts its dead basiclly as for how low you can go? i can,t answer that but i wouldn,t want to go much below 8 volts.................................

The batteries shouldn't be run down past 50% so you wouldn't want to go below 8.07 volts per battery. Here's a chart that lists the state of charge voltages...

Wow there must be something seriously wrong with my car. It won't charge the batteries above 8.1.

Thanks for the table.

I saved it to refer back to.


Do you think I damaged the batteries by running them below 8 volts this entire time testing the car? Maybe I'll try and exchange them at SAM'S.

I really didn't know the batteries are always suppose to be above their voltage rating. Learn something new everyday.

They're probably fine but you need to get them fully charged ASAP
