8507.20.80.61 - 36 V batteries

This HTS category, 8507.20.80.61, specifically classifies lead-acid storage batteries with a voltage of 36 volts. These batteries are designed to store and deliver electrical energy, typically utilized in applications requiring a higher voltage output than standard automotive or smaller electronic devices. They fall under the broader classification of "Other lead-acid storage batteries" and "Other" categories, indicating they are not of specific types covered by preceding subheadings.

The primary distinguishing feature of this category is its precise voltage rating of 36 volts. This differentiates it from sibling categories such as 8507.20.80.31 (6 V batteries) and 8507.20.80.41 (12 V batteries), which cover batteries with lower specific voltage outputs. The sibling category 8507.20.80.91, "Other," would encompass lead-acid batteries of this general type but with voltage ratings not explicitly listed in the preceding sibling categories, or perhaps those where the voltage is not a primary defining characteristic for classification.

As a leaf node, this category does not have further subdivisions. Therefore, classification within 8507.20.80.61 hinges on the accurate identification of the battery's voltage as 36 volts, alongside its construction as a lead-acid type and its exclusion from more specific classifications within the 8507.20.80 range. Examples of goods falling here might include batteries for electric mobility scooters, certain industrial equipment, or specific recreational vehicles where a 36V system is employed.
