After 7 years, I finally have to replace my Tojan Gels. Is this Deka - AJC brand a proper replacement? Here is the link - www dot sears dot com/deka-8g31ls-12v-100ah-sealed-lead-acid/p-SPM12158300716 Thanks, Eric ---

[quote=OLD HOUSEBOATER;31045]Battery for battery Deka is equal to Trojan Rodney[/quote] According to the website - This is an AJC® Brand replacement compatible with DEKA 8G31 12V 100AH SEALED LEAD ACID BATTERY www dot sears dot com/deka-8g31ls-12v-100ah-sealed-lead-acid/p-SPM12158300716 So does that mean yes? These AJC batteries are good replacements for the GEM? Thanks, Eric ---

IMHO I would stick with Trojan or DEKA These brands will get you more money for your cart when it comes time to sell. Personal preference is DEKA ---

I just went to napa and got item 8272 these are deka 8g31 batteries made by east penn 1600 out the door. If your algo is set to gel you are good to go. Just installed yesterday tough job you have to go in straight up and doun then rotate back.I had to take all six out then slide 2 back in first under seat then front 4 not much room on e2. If your company has an accont with napa buy cash sale you may do even better.
