No complaints , I just bought one and it's bloody brilliant ! It's amazing how you get used to a shagged out battery and slow dodgy starting .
Brrrrrrruuummm!

The gel battery I took off a was 6 years old and a bit weak and cranky ... a bit like me .

That is a good price for a Deka. I had them in my RS an gave no hint of a problem. This time I am giving an Exide gel motorcycle battery ago. Similar CCA to a Deka and for a around $130.
Time will tell if this was a good deal or not.
