8.5v is too low. The standard 12v lead acid DOD indicates that voltage below 10.5 is the lowest voltage that doesnt damage cells. Under load, the SLA battery won't explode or anything, but it's most definitely not good for the battery. As long as the battery voltage does recover after load is disconnected, it should be okay, but 8.5v allows for super short battery lifespan. See data sheet from MK datasheet
