DEKA makes a Series 31 battery, but it doesn't have as high a cold cranking amp rating as this one. Lowes doesn't stock these, but you can order them. https://www.lowes.com/pd/Deka-12-Volt-1-000-Amp-Marine-Battery/50183765

Costly, but that thing looks like a beast... Haha. I have a few of them at work from customers cars. They switch out to lithium for their street rods and I get to keep the “junk”. When I get one more, I’ll swap them into my boat. Ain’t nothing like free! Eat. Sleep. Fish.

The larger group batteries have a larger reserve capacity on them. I have an Interstate AGM 31 and never have issues with running 3 graphs all day, livewells, pumps, etc. It has 925CCA and 200RC. That Duracell from Sams club is good. That Deka stating ‘high reserve capacity’ without assigning a number to it is concerning Last edited by BigVes; 12/09/20 03:20 AM.
