Wes, While I don't have experience with the Deka Unigy AGM's, I can tell you that we are experiencing many failures of the 4D, 8D and other 6 and 12 volt Deka AGM batteries. The company will not respond to the problems so we will never sell another Deka or MK (made by Deka) AGM battery.

The Absolyte GP (GNB 100G17) vs the Deka Unigy II (AVR95-19). Both have similar reported Lifecycle curves, 1200-1300 cycles at 80% DOD. Any field experience to share? The Deka seems better on paper, larger AH capacity per dollar quoted from my distributor. Thanks! -Wes Kennedy Solar Geek since 1996 303-653-3073
