- wa8yxmExplorer IIII would (DID) got with DEKA but not AGM.... For the small amount of extra work that flooded wet cells require AGM's are just not worth the added cost.
- edatlantaExplorerTrojan T-105's here. My first set lasted 8 years and my second set is now 3 years old and going strong.
11 years full timer. - MrWizardModeratorI like Deka, have been using them for 4 years In this RV, last year replaced first set at 3 years age, full-time everyday use and recharge, over 1100 cycles of varying dod between 70% and 40% soc, with full recharge most days
I do not do 50 to 90,
I use what is needed 30% or 70% then recharge to full if possible
Then do it again the next day, that's full-time off grid living - ArchHoaglandExplorerWhere are you buying them? Online or local?
- curt12914ExplorerInterstate and Deka (not Decca) are (IMHO) the best quality in automotive wet batteries.
- KD4UPLExplorerI would put Trojan at the top of the quality list and they are likely at the top of the price list as well. For a good quality vs. price I typically use Deka batteries. Interstate doesn't make batteries. I don't know who is currently making theirs, it changes every couple of years. Not long ago it was Johnson Controls. They may be a fine battery but I have no experience with them.
- StephJohn2010ExplorerAll the quotes say AGM
- Matt_ColieExplorer IIJohn,
My T-105s are not AGM.
Of the other two, I'm not sure. Decca is a manufacturer and interstate makes a few, but I don't think that they make any AGM
Good Luck,
Matt - LwiddisExplorer III’m a Trojan fan but they are expensive.
