jrplayer36 Posted October 10, 2009 Report Posted October 10, 2009 (edited) I have a question on what is the difference between a red top batt and a yellow top batt. Edited October 10, 2009 by jrplayer35 Quote jrplayer36
Decaf Posted October 10, 2009 Report Posted October 10, 2009 the red top is better suited for starting a car over and over again the yellow top is better at holding a deep reserve of power best for car audio Quote

Decaf Posted October 10, 2009 Report Posted October 10, 2009 depends, what size batt can u fit under ur hood... and will that be the only bat u have on a stock alt? Quote
eliassami5 Posted October 10, 2009 Report Posted October 10, 2009 (edited) Red top is a starting battery, has the fastest discharge and recharge rate of any optima battery. Discharge the battery below 10.5v more than 15 times and the battery will become a paper weight, is not designed to be quickly discharged all at once so your system shouldn't exceed ~2000 watts. = good for audio systems when the engine is running Yellow top is a deep cycle battery designed to be drained to low voltages again and gain without damaging the battery = good if you play your system with then engine off and if you are running more than 2000 watts But then again there are many other battery choices depending on what kind of system you wanna run and what kind of weather you live in Edited October 10, 2009 by eliassami5 Quote 91' Jeep Cherokee - The Heep Just Empty Every Pocket 96' Volvo 960 - The B◘x [sPL_4_U] HiFonics - Alpine Pioneer - Clarion Infinity - Kicker KnuKonceptz

audiofanaticz Posted October 10, 2009 Report Posted October 10, 2009 If your buying a optima new, your best idea is to not buy optima at all. Go straight for a powermaster battery that will fit your car. www.4xspower.com Quote
