I have 2 Deka 8A27 batteries, barely used (less than 10 times) for sale. They are absorbed glass mat (AGM). I am only looking to sell these because shortly after I bought them last spring I won a new pair (exact same) at a tournament. Since then, I kept them clean and inside during cold weather and periodically charge them up. I charged them up last week and they had a full charge in less than 10 minutes. I now realize that keeping them as a backup is just wasting a good tool as the 8A27s I'm using now are awesome and I don't anticipate needing new ones. I have fished multiple 2 day tournaments the past year and they have never failed me. Just Sunday I spend 8 hours on a lake fighting 2-3 foot waves and when the day ended and my livewells were still empty? >:(, my trolling motor was running just as powerfully as the beginning of the day? :).

In comparison to the maintenance deep cycle battery, the AGMs seem to hold up better in rough water and there's no maintenance required ever. The charge is the same as a DC27 by Deka which will sell for $79.99 @ D & R Sportscenter; the 8A27 normally sell around $160-170.

I can email you pictures of the batteries, I can't seem to post them (image is too big for the website); send me a pm with your email address or post it. I'm not looking to make much money ($50 each or OBO plus the shipping costs), but these are great batteries that I can't justify laying around.

(sometimes I need a reminder...)

I am interested in one or possibly both of these batteries.? I have never used one of these AGM batteries, Do they charge the same way as a normal deep cell. Will the work with a traditional 12V system?

I live in Portage.
