    The Yuasa says it's built in the USA... but Deka is also made in the USA according to a fast search.

    The Yuasa has those handy holes where you have to fiddle with a nut to get the bolt threaded. That has to be worth a premium. (haha..)
    Yuasa (being oem) always tempts me, but Canadian Tire gives me Canadian Tire Money (= my pension fund)

    I wonder how these online guys deal with the BC recycle Tax??

      Hey Greg, I bought two batteries for my bikes last summer at a place beside Lordco on Gorge. $55 each. Sorry I forget the name.

                  Saskbattery is good....they sell name-brand batteries plus DEKA, which are the same batteries sold under several different names/labels by other distributors/parts suppliers. Peel back a NAPA label and you may find DEKA underneath it.

                  Their service is excellent...you get it within two days....plus they give a written warranty.....AND they are usually cheaper than anyone else.

                    A post script to this thread.
                    Decided that if the local dealer,Kenco here in Sooke,was within $20 of the Saskbattery price we'd buy it from him.It was $95 so that's what we're doing.
