I’d have to agree with him. I used to get real good service from them. Not so much on the last set so I switched. They were sold then moved to Mexico.

johnson controls owns them now, they make a ton of different name batteries like wally worlds and auto parts stores, I think they still make wally world anyway.

great batteries, made by deka, I run 3 deka 27 and a 24 in the champion and like the performance I am getting.

deka pricing at boat dealer is comparable to wally world for same sizes but a whole lot better battery.

Sorry , deka 27 what brand name is are these?

They are made by East Penn.

deka is the brand name.

east penn. makes the deka and the duracells, either or, same batteries by size.

Ok thanks for your info,

I will brag on the dekas now.
just spun a hub just south of the 515w bridge on fork, the force tm and 3 deka 27s got me back to williams creek to the ramp.
indicator showed red about the last 200 yds. or so, I am impressed since it took almost an hr. on full speed.

I use the blue top Optimas for my trolling motor and never had a problem but, I put them on a charger as soon as I get home to get them back to fully charged.
