Battery ODYSSEY or Deka

Actually the Deka's usually test out at almost double their rated CCA, but the big thing is the capacity. with such a small battery, yeah it may crank out enough CCA to turn you over in the winter, but it will only do it for a much shorter time than a conventional battery.

Deka FTW..... Love mine, cranks my high CR engine over no prob....

I have the Deka ETX14 in my car. I've had no problems with it. It's the same as the braille only 100 bucks(or so) cheaper. I have a high compression 8v... but no stereo.

i also used an odyssey battery that was 14lbs and 55 dollars and never had a problem starting even in fridgid temps. braille is all hype and a name.

The Dekas have all tested on par with the Braille. In fact the January Dekas tested at 435CCA (even though they're labeled as 200cca). If you buy a braille you're getting a great battery with a great warranty. If you buy a Deka, you're getting a great battery, an even better warranty (north america wide deka replacement at any deka dealer), and you're paying 1/3 the price.

They are exactly the same. Deka is half the price though. I've used a Deka in my buddies G60 that makes over 225whp on an 8v head with a lysholm, and it works great.

I run a Deka tractor battery, all you need to do is get the convertion kit for the terminals and I mounted it to NHRA spec. I have been using this for about 1.5 years straight now daily driving with no issues at all. Even as cold as it was this winter the thing cranked right over every time. The main reason I did it was for the weight reduction....
