Smile My own version of CF Deka mini battery!

I just got this Deka mini battery today! At last I can install my BR uicp now!

I wraped the battery with CF decal from Advance auto parts... You have to spray paint around the battery with a high heat engine spray paint so the decal won't come off.
I will make my own tray tom too! Too cold outside now


here's some pics!

THATS a great idea but that battery does not have enough cold cranking amps to last, its a motorcycle battery, designed for a motorcycle, it might work if you dont have a radio or headlights or taillights, just my opinion,

EVERYONE who uses a smaller battery uses this or the Odyssey PC680 (I use). It turns on fine. Only time it dies is if you have your car off and leave your lights or radio on for 15-20 minutes.

But day in day out I have never had a problem.

Basically, there are three main battery producers in the nation: Exide, Johnson Control Industries(JCI), and DEKA. At this point, DEKA East Penn manufacturing is the only one making money, they simply cannot produce enough batteries to meet demand.

So if you see a battery with a different label that looks like a DEKA...it is probably a DEKA!!!!

my shop sells deka batterys i just pulled that exact one off the shelf, and yes it has lower cold cranking amps but there is enough power for a car but not if you have a big stereo system and other fancy stuff , like i said before it will not last nearly as much as a regular battery or a busher racing battery
