Heres some interesting info about Deka, Vs. Exide.

Both companys have plants near Reading, PA but that is about all they have in common.

I have been at the Exide plant for a shut down where we replaced legs on a convaier that had rotted away. The place is Trully a SHIT HOLE holes in the buildings, contaminated ground (lead and acid), and is just plain hell on earth.

Deka on the other had is all about quality and safty. They do everything, and i do mean everything in house. (they have there own hospital) and make every single part themselfs. The place is so clean I would eat off the floor.

I wouldnt buy a Exide just because of the plant conditions.
