At my previous job we used to buy the deep cycles ones for our power equipment that I sold and they were very durable.

Deka batteries are excellent quality
I just bought 2 group 27 Deka AGM batteries for my boat this spring. Very very pleased.
I just bought 2 Daka Intimidator AGM batteries for my Dodge Ram pickup. I hope the batteries last a long time, since they were $190/each.
They seem to have great cranking power.
It's too early to tell for me to say whether I am better off with AGM batteries.
The last battery experiment with the Optima batteries was a real letdown. My first two Optima batteries lasted 10 years and we're still working when I got rid of the cars using them. Those two batteries were purchased around the year 2000.
The later Optima batteries only lasted two years at best. Something seems to have caused a decline in quality in the newer Optima. And, they got stupid expensive during the decline.
My traditional lead acid Deka battery in my Toyota pickup is still going strong after roughly 6 years. Great experience with the Deka made batteries so far...

I have one in my Jeep and my boss has one in his. Local battery Mart sells then cheaper than the price someone posted above.
I've got one in one vehicle and I plan to outfit the others with them when the current batteries die.

EP/Deka are great batteries. Sears Die Hard also carries them just make sure the product number starts or ends with EP and not JC ditto Walmart depending on your location it may or may not be.
I have a 2006 MB Diesel group 49 AGM battery. It is Sears Diehard Gold was told it is Johnson Control. Battery in Mercedes battery last easy 10 years due to location usually under rear seat or Trunk ( my 4th MB Diesel).
