The lady at Deka I spoke to actually acted a little confused when I told her that HD rates their 17.5 amp hour battery @ 19 amp hour.
I could understand if the case size was a little different but from what I can tell (don't have the Deka in my hand), they are the same size (height, width, depth).
Almost makes me want to perform a "consumer report" test on each battery to find out the truth. It is just so easy to muscle numbers in the direction you want them to go. Labeling and specs sell product.
A great example was the release of the Ford Shelby Cobra in 2007. Claimed to have 500 H.P. and NOT ONE of them had more than 440 from the dealership. But I am sure Ford can do it in their labs.
