- 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.
- Where is the Deka High Performance 165 CCA 12 V Battery cheapest?
- At Ace Hardware, for $79.99, as of our latest check.
