About to have the batteries changed out in the MH to AGM..finally. Last year where we had it stored didn't check the after and all the batteries went dry refilled and everything was good for a while but batteries were swelled and now 7.5 volts is all they hold.All that CW carries is is the DECA Brand. They are supposed to fit the same dimensions as the T105s.1500.00 for four.Anyone have experience with DECA AGM deep cycle 6 volt batteries?

deca about the best out there.BUT why buy them at cw? your going to pay twice there cost. do a google on price and check them out.

I assume you mean Deka (with a K). I install off grid solar systems for a living. I have installed hundreds batteries, both flooded and AGM, over the last 15 years. I've had very good results with them or I wouldn't keep using them. I typically see their AGM batteries lasting 7 to 10 years before needing replacement. I do think that Lifeline batteries are a little better but they are also more expensive. However, they make a wider variety of sizes so I often go with Lifeline if a different size works better for a given installation.A quick googls search shows the Deka 8AGC2 selling online anywhere from $260 to $360 with most places about $300. What is CW charging?

DECA are made by East Penn. They are TOP quality US Made batteries.

Hi,At that price I'd be looking at SiO2 chemistry instead. $450 usd per 100 amp-hours. They have MANY advantages over ordinary AGM.

I plan to do this, Don, when the Trojans expire.
