We are also a dealer for Braille Batteries and just to reinforce what has already been said.

The Braille and Deka batteries are definitely not the same battery by any means. The batteries are made in the USA and Braille does offer the best full race warranty there is.

We use a lot of the B1632 which is the 16 Volt AGM batteries (we have had nothing but great reviews) and I have a few customers who are running 12 Volt Lithium Batteries as well (he's going on about 7 years now with that battery). We will hopefully be having a few 16 Volt Lithium Batteries being used in the near future as well!

The batteries, as far as I'm concerned, are the best quality that I have seen and they stand behind their products. We had the B1632 batteries in cars for a little over 4 years now with no issues - they are lightweight and strong.

Being that both batteries are made by East Penn I'm sure the same quality goes for Deka.

Good luck with the remainder of the 2012 season!
