I've made a thread about this one a year ago and no one could find hard proof, but it's believed they're built by the same warehouse or whatever.

All East Penn as pointed out.

I have Deka/Duracell/Super Start/NGT Extreme in my vehicle (all the same batt with a different sticker). I do like the newer gray case/black top better, but mine can't be seen anyway...

The Group 78 are $129.00. I thought about that underhood and Group 31 in my trunk.

Do you know the Product number ? Groupon here in Indy has $25.00 worth of batteries for $10.00, so I could save $15.00 off that price.

Ok I'm a little confused now between these ones Sams has - I seen this one :

Duracell® AGM Deep Cycle Marine and RV Battery - Group Size 31DTMAGM - Sam's Club

I noticed it stated MARINE soooo is this just as good as the regular 9A31?
