Good Price for a East Penn Battery

[leo]

Just bought a 6 volt battery from Batteries + Bulbs for $71.09 plus tax. This included a 10% off pick up in store discount and turn in battery core.
Specs:
Brand: Duracell Ultra
Voltage: 6
Format: BCI Group 1
Lead Acid Type: Starting
Cold Cranking Amps: 640
Battery Type: Basic
Chemistry: Lead Acid
Cranking Amps: 785
Not the cheapest but made by East Penn (Deka) which have a good reputation.

Yep. the 6 volt EPM in my 28 Phaeton is still working fine and I got it from the recycling yard more than 12 years ago.

Deka? Is that the company near Fleetwood, Pa.? (Yes Fleetwood is the home of the Fleetwood bodies for Cadillac)

Terry, I believe you are in the right neighborhood, East Penn has several locations in the Reading area, the closest to Fleetwood is in Lyons PA.

I've never used a Duracell lead acid battery before but have heard good things about them. This is the battery I've got in my A. I've had very good luck with the farm rated batteries from Mill's Fleet Farm. Bought many of them over many years. http://www.fleetfarm.com/detail/farm.../0000000235146 $53

Deka is a subsidiary of EPM who make batteries for a number of different labels.

Have never heard an ill word spoken against the Deka brand.
