Deka is an excellent battery... Trojan, US Battery and the two East Penn brands, Deka and Duracell are the only real competitors when it comes to quality batteries.... but east penn also makes batteries for private label companies as well.
as for the $185 for a Deka, that could be a good deal, depending on the size of the battery... which isnt mentioned. so it could be a bad deal also...
For wet cell 6V GC2's, I'd add Crown and Rolls batteries into the top tier, similar to Trojan in quality and reputation.
I'd also price comparison shop against the Fullriver AGM GC2 equivalent - might not be as much of a jump in price as some would think. Capable of a bit faster recharging, and of course no fuss no maintenance after install. ON EDIT: I took a quick Google Shopping look, and it was $269 for the DC224-6 battery. I had remembered seeing like $219, but that was for an 'replacement' for the Fullriver add, Apex AGM if I recall. So much more of a jump then the $185...
If price is the main concern, the Costco and or Sam's, and be done with it:)! (I believe I saw Sam's had a bit taller and higher capacity GC2 footprint battery in stock, in Southern California(?). Probably close to equivalent to the T-125's.
