Battery Deka or OEM FORD

My Mechanic had me get non-AGM style from Deka. I have the dual battery setup, and have drained my spare a few times already and it’s out performed the previous brands.

I replaced the battery in my '16 F150 last year - I'd say it had a good run. Went with another OE battery since the original lasted so long.

I really like the Deka ETX12. Point is these batteries are bulletproof. They last longer than any other battery I have ever gotten. I highly recommend them.

Even in the colder weather now, I'd be getting 400+ km on a full charge in my BEV (Mustang Mach e). But I only charge once a week (Fri night), to 80% to help with battery life; costs about $3 per week to get an extra 200-300km.

I currently run a Deka Intimidator in my rig and it's been problem free for 3 years now

Always read your manual/mfr suggestions for battery charging and longevity.

For Li-ion you generally should charge no more than 80% (some mfg hide 10% via software like Ford, so you charge to 90%). Also, limit fee cycling these types too, regularly you should DC to about 50% max. Occasionally deep cycling and full charging is fine. Should limit DCFC also.

Deka ETX15, Deka makes a great battery and they’re sold under a few manufacturers.

I use Deka for all of my cars and they take Minnesota winters like a champ

Kakabili ko lang ng Everest, so far no problems minus that one time na itinirik ako ng wala pang 2 months of ownership kasi defective yung battery. Common issue siya that happens around 6 months - 1 year, kaya ina-advice na palitan agad yung stock battery sa fecp na group, pero ang OA ng 2. months. Granted, napalitan naman agad battery for free pero ang hassle parin.

defective rin battery sa unit ko wala pang 2 months (common issue ng next gen everest) pinalitan rin naman ng casa for free but still, hassle.
