I'm not sure if this has been mentioned in any of the other forums, but here's a tip for you guys that like the Deka ETX20L battery....the Duracell EXT20L is the exact same battery. It's made by Deka (East Penn Manufacturing) and branded for Duracell, and it's available at Sam's Club. It will save you the hassle of trying to hunt down a Deka branded battery - just run down to your local Sam's club and grab the Duracell brand. I've had mine over 3 years now without any problems (keep it on the battery tender).

Be aware that the Duracell Ultra and the Duracell Platinum are NOT THE SAME.
The last duracell I got from Batteries PLus (needed a battery that day) Was a Duracell Ultra and was from Vietnam.
Now it has beehaved well so far for me but I'd rather have a DEKA but we'll see how this goes -- It does have a 2yr warranty on it and Batteries PLus are everywhere.

Ok, for those who raised questions about the quality of the Duracell vs. Deka battery, I have the answer to address your skepticism (and I wanted to be sure about the battery I purchase myself). They are the EXACT SAME battery. I contacted East Penn about this, and they confirmed that while they manufacture Duracell branded batteries for several retailers, East Penn does not manufacture different quality batteries for different brands or retailers, and whether they are sold under the Duracell label or Deka label, they are the exact same battery. The only difference is the label only. So there you have it.....you've got several choices for this battery, and they are one and the same whether they are Duracell branded or Deka branded.
