What is the Deka Battery Catalog? The Deka Battery Catalog is a comprehensive resource detailing East Penn Manufacturing’s premium batteries, including specifications, applications, and technical data. It serves industries like automotive, marine, renewable energy, and industrial sectors, offering reliable, high-performance power solutions backed by 75+ years of innovation.
How Does Deka Battery Catalog Organize Its Product Range?
The catalog categorizes batteries into series like Intimidator (AGM), Masterline (flooded), and Unigy II (VRLA). Each section includes voltage, capacity, dimensions, and application-specific details. Industrial batteries feature cycle life and maintenance requirements, while automotive options highlight CCA (Cold Cranking Amps) for reliable starts in extreme conditions.
| Series | Technology | Voltage | Key Applications |
|---|---|---|---|
| Intimidator | AGM | 12V | Off-road vehicles, commercial trucks |
| Masterline | Flooded | 6V/12V | Golf carts, floor scrubbers |
| Unigy II | VRLA | 2V/6V/12V | Telecom, UPS systems |
The catalog’s organization enables professionals to quickly match battery specifications to operational demands. For example, the Solar AGM series includes detailed charge/discharge curves showing 98% efficiency at 77°F. A dedicated marine section specifies batteries with dual terminal posts (SAE and threaded) for versatile installation. Advanced filtering allows users to sort by group size (24-31), weight (18-63 lbs), or reserve capacity (90-220 minutes).
What Safety Certifications Are Included in Deka Battery Catalog?
Deka batteries meet UL 1989 (standby), UL 2580 (EV), and ISO 9001:2015 certifications. Marine batteries comply with ABYC A-27/BCI 24M standards. Their REACH-compliant designs restrict lead content to <0.1% and include flame-arresting safety vents.
| Certification | Standard | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| UL 1973 | Stationary Storage | Fire resistance testing |
| IEC 62619 | Industrial Applications | Thermal runaway prevention |
| DOT 49 CFR | Transportation | Vibration/shock resistance |
These certifications ensure compliance across international markets. The UL 1989 listing confirms batteries can deliver 15+ minutes of backup power at 25°C ambient temperature. For medical applications, select models meet IEC 60601-1 leakage current requirements (<100μA). Deka's ISO 14001 environmental certification guarantees 97% of battery components get recycled through closed-loop processes.
“Deka’s catalog isn’t just a list—it’s a blueprint for energy resilience. Their GEL series’ 0.2% monthly self-discharge outperforms competitors by 50%, critical for off-grid solar. What’s revolutionary is their Battery Finder tool, which reduces compatibility errors by 70% through 3D modeling and amperage matching algorithms.”
