Only if you have a Japanese bike or atv it might. But then you'll probably pay more for less actual power.,,
Whuch is the better battery: Deka vs. Yuasa?
- Thread starter Silverado12

Many manuals, Yuasa is stated in the manual as oem, but many times the battery is a generic and not an actual Yuasa.
Fukarama is a knock off they sometimes use instead.

For that price, it should sing and dance.
You think that price is too high?.
Heck yes.

I'm sure you'd be fine with either, but if EVERY Japanese manufacturer only uses YUASA, I think that speaks much to their quality and dependability.
I agree 100% on the YUASA Batteries, I also believe others about Deka, just never used them.
Yuasa, Made in USA, OEM on many metrics, reason I like Yuasa so well is in my industry (security systems) Yuasa is ALWAYS the battery of choice for back up power in security systems. You know if your putting in/replacing a back up battery your good for years to come unlike a lot of other knock off brands.
I do not agree with your statement on Lithium batteries. I would STAY AWAY from lithium, its ALL marketing why people buy lithium for bikes.
The ONLY time I would use lithium is if the product came OEM with it. Charging systems in bikes and automobile are made for lead acid batteries, the lithium thing is complete [censored] and WAY overrated (over marketed too) unless you are looking for a short life battery, for example on a race circuit to reduce weight.
A lithium battery in a bike is a total waste of money, same as if you put one in your car UNLESS THE BIKE OR CAR came OEM with one which I think will be a loooong time if ever. (not talking electric vehicles before someone brings it up*L*)
