SumoRerun Posted December 31, 2014 Report Posted December 31, 2014 I'm going to do the big 3 next week and I had aquestion about my battery. It's a Optima Yellow Top with Top and Side Posts. Since my Side post Extender doesn't have the room for me to add another wire lug, Can I buy a set of Top Posts and use those for the Positive and Negative cables? Thanks in Advance
P Dub Posted December 31, 2014 Report Posted December 31, 2014 I don't see why not. I have been running my battery under the hood using all 4 posts and have never had any issues. They should tie together on the inside
SumoRerun Posted December 31, 2014 Author Report Posted December 31, 2014 Ok. I assumed that since they gave you the option for top or side posts that you could use either or oth, depending on your application. Thanks for the help!!
Aj11 Posted December 31, 2014 Report Posted December 31, 2014 hope you read this, but the yellow top side post isn't meant for heavy audio current. it's attached internally by a very very thin piece of led. they have been known to fail. if you are running heavy gear (1500w up) i would use the side posts for your cars electrical, and use the top posts for your audio wires. i owned a yellow top 2 years ago, bought it for like $40 it was better then my Walmart special but ehh. do your self a favor and get the heavy load wire on the top posts, and get a good charge on that battery at least once a month. it should last a long time. jvc deck stinger 1800 front hc 2000 kinetic rear 2 runs of 1/0g big 3/4 ct 60.4 2 ct 1400.1 ct EXO 15 d1 lots of deadner type r comps front stage 6 kicker tweets rear stage lots of great stuff coming soon ho alt more bats ct comps for front stage more deadner sweet amp rack lots of L.E.D lights new deck (thinking 80 prs, or flip out)

Aj11 Posted January 1, 2015 Report Posted January 1, 2015 for $45 bucks it's worth getting some 6/0g battery terms. just pick a brand and go. i noticed i had .3 less drop in voltage when i switched from what you have strange to my toolmaker terminals. jvc deck stinger 1800 front hc 2000 kinetic rear 2 runs of 1/0g big 3/4 ct 60.4 2 ct 1400.1 ct EXO 15 d1 lots of deadner type r comps front stage 6 kicker tweets rear stage lots of great stuff coming soon ho alt more bats ct comps for front stage more deadner sweet amp rack lots of L.E.D lights new deck (thinking 80 prs, or flip out)

I suppose that is possible but I don't like the TM top post aluminum block connectors. Aluminum doesn't like to bend like that and I can't see it making a good connection. Just my opinion.
