I like the Gold/Deka spec better than the Platinum/Enersys. It should have 79AH rating where the Platinum is by Enersys(Oddysey) and only has 68AH for the same weight.
I think Deka makes very high quality batteries! That said, That Deka Gp34M battery is rated at 55Ah, 775CCA, and weighs 42.5lbs.
The Odyssey PC1400 (Platinum Gp34) is rated at 68Ah, 880CCA, and weighs 49.5lbs
