- Can the Deka AUX14 start a car?
- No. At 200 CCA it is an auxiliary battery, meant for backup power, accessory circuits, and small engines. Use a full-size battery for starting a car or truck.
- Is it a direct replacement for a standard car battery?
- Only if your vehicle uses a small auxiliary battery of the same group size and terminal layout. Check physical dimensions and terminal positions before buying.
- Does it need a special charger?
- Yes. Use a charger with an AGM setting. A conventional flooded-battery charger can overcharge it and shorten its life.
- Can it be mounted in any position?
- Because it is sealed AGM, it can be mounted on its side or at an angle, but keep terminals protected and secure it against vibration.
- How does it compare with a larger AGM auxiliary battery?
- A larger AGM gives more reserve capacity and higher cranking amps. The AUX14 trades that for a smaller, lighter package suited to light loads.
- Where is the Deka AUX14 Automotive AGM Auxiliary Battery (200 CCA) cheapest?
- At Blain's Farm & Fleet, for $134.99, as of our latest check.
