We have a new mh with a one NAPA house battery. I would like to add a second battery, parralled. I like Deka batteries. So if this NAPA is made by Deka that would be a good way to go.
Thanks,

So, you have a USED battery and you are adding a NEW battery?
Since your existing battery is not brand new you are basically wasting money by excessively worrying about the manufacturer of said battery..
Your new battery capacity will be affected by the existing used battery and most likely both batteries will not charge at the same rate nor will they discharge at the same rate.. They are only as good as the WEAKEST in the chain..
Not to mention every battery (even from the same batch) will have slightly different charge/discharge rates..
I would not pay the extra money for a NAPA, Sears DiHard ect..
Go to Sam's or Costco and get what battery size will fit your space.. It WILL work just as well..
