Will this start a car?

No. At 165 CCA it is meant for motorcycles, ATVs, lawn equipment and other small engines. A car engine needs several hundred CCA.

Is it AGM or flooded?

It is a conventional flooded lead-acid battery. It is not spill-proof like AGM, so keep it upright and check charging voltage.

Does it fit my motorcycle?

Check your bike's battery box dimensions and terminal layout against the Deka case size. Many small and mid-size bikes accept it, but large touring bikes usually need more capacity.

Does it come charged?

New lead-acid batteries often sit on a shelf, so charge it fully before first use. That also protects its life.

How do I make it last?

Keep it fully charged, especially in storage, and use a maintainer over winter. Avoid deep discharges, which shorten flooded lead-acid life.

Is it better than an AGM battery?

It is simpler and usually cheaper, but AGM resists vibration and spills better and often cranks harder in cold. For a basic small engine, this Deka is adequate.
