ptcary Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 For my buddy here in Austin. Needs a new main battery for his PT, one main battery no second batteries. He does run a lot of electrical and a large Alpine setup. He is looking at yellow and redtops from Optima, and I know there are differences between the two. Please don't say Powermaster or Kinetik, as I don't think he has time to order either of them on the web. (Needs his car!) What is better for a daily driver with a lot of electrical upgrades and a stereo? Yellow or Redtop????

ptcary Posted August 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 Thanks Dale, but can you guys please post why? I read that a redtop is a starting battery and a yellow is a deep cycle. If he doesn't run his stereo with the engine off, wouldn't the red be a better choice for a daily driven car?
