Optima Yellow Top

[1EVLPNY]

Took it off the Cobra (remember it was totaled). In excellent condition, deep cycle, paid $220 new, $150 takes it. Also would need your old battery so I could get back the core charge from the Vatozone battery that I bought and put in it since the insurance company wanted a battery with it. :rolleyes:

whats so good about optima batteries over stock?

[1EVLPNY]

The yellow top is a deep cycle, so it can handle accessories like a sound system and won't drain like other batteries. It also has higher crank amps (870) and are very durable, the cobra sat for a month and when I went to start it, it started right up didn't have to jump it. :D

Is it also lighter in weight than stock?

[1EVLPNY]

It weighs about the same as stock.

[StriderTacticaL]

Oh, I thought it would be lighter....I think when my battery goes out I am gonna get an odyssey drycell

These are great batteries to use for relocation.

Is Optima a dry cell battery?

What's the difference between the Optima red top and their yellow top?

[1EVLPNY]

Optimas are dry cell batteries. The difference between the red and yellow top is that the yellow top is a deep cycle battery so it can handle accessories like a sound system.

[fdogg96]

and the red tops handles what?

[vtecftw]

the red top's cheaper and is supposed to last longer than a standard battery. the yellow is supposed to handle more full drains, that's why it's called deep cycle. the standard batteries usually die out after a couple full drains. that's about all i know, i stick with the cheapo costco batteries :biggrin:

[fdogg96]

is the yellow top overkill for an all stock system? will it cause problems?

[vtecftw]

they're like regular batteries.... but better!
