I just put on a deka ext-16l on my car. I like it but everytime I start my car I worry it wont crank over


also mine says 325CC but the guy that posted pics of his says 275?

 

but its starts every time

 

yea, it does. well see how it does once it starts to get colder.

 

I had two die on me in a year, took the last one back to costco and they just laughed and gave me a standard one, saying that they will never tell another customer to buy one ever.

 

I am pretty much leaning towards the PC680 based on its CCA and size. My plan is to replace the original battery with the Drycell PC680 and locating it behind the passenger seat. The size is thin enough that makes the passenger seat set forward only 3" from the back wall.
I will post more info once I do this relocated mod.

 

Just to clear up the DEKA models:
The EXT16L has the polarities flipped.
We need the EXT16 (no 'L') for the S2k.

Correct me if I'm wrong but the previous posts confuse this and even the pictures posted show a EXT16.

 

Both will work. I actually used both the ETX16 and ETX16L and found the "L" version to work best for my setup. I needed another battery for my Subaru so used the ETX16 for that.

The "L" posts end up in a better spot for my setup - I did get rid of the batt tray and made some brackets.

However if you use the OEM location then the ETX16 is better. But it's nice to get rid of a full 10 lbs when you get rid of the tray.

 

Just ordered a ETX16!

we'll see how it works in chicago weather...

 

you wont have any problems. Congrats!

 

For those with the Deka ETX16, does it work with the OEM mounting brackets without modifications?
