I couldn’t find much on AGM battery outside the Optima. I’m looking to replace a Optima red 25, after doing a battery swap replacing the red 25 with a red 34 in my corvette. The BBC Nomad needs a battery. Being that the red 24 only lasted 8 years and typically I had been good for at least 10 years with all my cars on Battery Tenders when not used.

There has been a lot of information saying the Optima’s were not made in USA any longer. So seeking a Deka intimidator AGM 9A34. Deka is heavier and a bit bigger than most group 34 size battery’s 10.75" x 6.875" x 8 and weight is over 42 pounds. But most important is made in USA , in fact in Pa by a family business. The 750 CCA along with weight and size is attractive. Reviews are good.

I’m giving this battery a try in my BBC Nomad using 1/0 welding cables and a power master gear motor starter. Anybody have any experience with this Deka intimidator AGM 9A34 battery?
