how did the story end?

I had this with Optima. I have some of their older 800 CCA batteries from 10-15 years old and still working well, but I had like 3 bad 720 CCA ones from Costco

I bought a couple of Deka Intimidators and they worked ok. I bought one of these for a UPS and it worked ok but I never tested it so I don't know if it meets spec.

What I like about Deka is they are still independent and made in the USA. Everything else is either bought up by Johnson Controls or Exide or foreign

Dont buy any batteries from Bad4Health he doesnt honor warranty and doesnt test them properly either.
