AGM batteries are starting to make inroads in the boating industry too. DEKA has been around for a while. I am not sure if they just resell some other makers batteries or they actually make their own.....

It is called their Power Sports battery. It uses absorbed glass mat technology which means that the acid is in a gel form. The upside is that the battery cannot leak acid, I had one damaged in shipping, a hole was punched in the case but no acid leaked out and the battery still had all it's amps. The battery will hold a charge longer than conventional lead/acid with less care. It has higher cranking amps and, at my local parts store was actually cheaper than the conventional yuasa. There are only a few part numbers but they do make one to fit a GTS. Deka has been hitting up the local motorcycle shops but I have seen them at my local auto parts store, (real parts store not retail chain stores).
