Hi BFL13,
They appear to be telecom batteries from what little I could glean from the Deka site.
When I looked up Marathon I found:
"Genuine GNB Marathon Long Life Factory Fresh Front Access Terminal Backup Telecom Switchgear Standby Battery is compatible with most Emergency Critical Power Applications."
So they are likely a surplus acid design just as Mr Wizard and mine are with a different form factor.
However mine were only 3 years old. 2012 is 5 years old.
Mine behave more like flooded jars than AGM, but I'm happy with them so far.
