Are they worth the hour out of my way on the way home from work in the morning? There is only one place that has them and the price is par with everywhere else. This is for my 1997 f250 btw so I will be needing 2 as well. They are 4.5 and 7 years old and the truck just dont crank for long so it's time.

 

I'm not familiar with the Deka product specifically, but I'm pretty fussy about batteries and would drive half a day if that was required to get the best one. A cheap battery can sure do a lot of damage to cables, terminals, hold-downs etc. when it starts drooling acid out everywhere.

 

I like my Optimas, but man you sure pay for em!

 

Yes, it's worth it. Deka is one of the best batteries out there.

 

Get the Deka. Made by East Penn Battery, same people that make Caterpillar batteries in their equipment. They are some of the best out there.
