Wondering how good this Yuasa built battery http://saskbattery.com/ecommerce_226.htm is vs this Delka battery http://saskbattery.com/ecommerce_182.htm ?Or are they both built in the same place?Both my 85 750 and 78 1000 take this size battery,got to love Suzuki.

The Yuasa says it's built in the USA... but Deka is also made in the USA according to a fast search.

The Yuasa has those handy holes where you have to fiddle with a nut to get the bolt threaded. That has to be worth a premium. (haha..)
Yuasa (being oem) always tempts me, but Canadian Tire gives me Canadian Tire Money (= my pension fund)

I wonder how these online guys deal with the BC recycle Tax??

Hey Greg, I bought two batteries for my bikes last summer at a place beside Lordco on Gorge. $55 each. Sorry I forget the name.

Have you checked out Island Battery?

Saskbattery is good....they sell name-brand batteries plus DEKA, which are the same batteries sold under several different names/labels by other distributors/parts suppliers. Peel back a NAPA label and you may find DEKA underneath it.

Their service is excellent...you get it within two days....plus they give a written warranty.....AND they are usually cheaper than anyone else.

A post script to this thread.
Decided that if the local dealer,Kenco here in Sooke,was within $20 of the Saskbattery price we'd buy it from him.It was $95 so that's what we're doing.
