cmamtower Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 they hate on them because they want to believe what they have is better than an already good battery, when in turn they all still sit around 12.6 volts and start up your car. lol haha but for cereal. theres nothing wrong with a yellow top, hell, i got a kinetic hc600 and as soon as it got to me it had a dead or shorted cell. doesnt mean kinetic's are shitty batteries though. its just on what you want and what you trust i guess. You are wrong... XS has been proven time and again to hold a higher charge, and put up a better score... Fact... At least your opinion is from experience Ryan and not just personally hating optima with no personal experience with them You wont see me hate on something if I have no experience with it... yeah i know this to an extent. but i just meant the beginning statement of mine mainly as a joke lol apparently you dont get the fact that the subaru was wrapped around a pole. and by the status of your comment, im guessing your mouth is too.

Team_DC-Derrick Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 there not a bad battery but XS and Kinetik i got better performance out of "better performance" is an awfully bold statement isnt it? maybe you got more capacity and a faster discharge, but i dont know if id go as far as to say better performance. wouldnt getting more capacity, and faster discharge be better performance? .... I would think so.... The DC Integra 3 18s to 6 15 build log Team_DC-Derrick's Youtube Team DC Audio where theres a will theres a wall.......

Superjay Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 it's not a hate thing....yellow tops are NOT STARTING BATTERIES!!!! you need a red top for that. the yellow top is for accessories Principal JTech Consulting - Leader in 12-Volt Training and Product PlanningIt's not about how much power you have, but how well you use it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rection Posted December 31, 2010 Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 there not a bad battery but XS and Kinetik i got better performance out of "better performance" is an awfully bold statement isnt it? maybe you got more capacity and a faster discharge, but i dont know if id go as far as to say better performance. wouldnt getting more capacity, and faster discharge be better performance? .... I would think so.... i would call it more performance instead of better performance. the yellow top does what its rated to do, and it does it well.

raolito1980 Posted December 31, 2010 Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 I dont know about the Yellow's, but I have 2 Red Tops in my car, stock alternator. Never gave me any problems, always started my car, period. I ran Kinetik and got to say Red Top better overall for me. I have run my battery with car off and still starts up. Maybe this coming New Year, I will get me a D2400 under my hood. I'm looking for stiffer voltage, and for sure power upgrade. I do run a lil over 3K RMS daily. 2012 GMC SIerra CC System Build Headunit--Stock Sub Amp--DC 2.0k Subs--2-SA8v2's Enclosure--Need one made!!

Pitbullx Posted December 31, 2010 Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 yeah i know they are a tad expensive but i thought it was a performance issue everybody was having with them all these kids these days are so hung up on all the bandwagon stuff ya know. i love optima stuff. i know that if im doing a show and i have a batt kick the bucket on me, i can just find an autozone and get an exact replacement. try that with kinetik or xs power. not trying to say that those arent good batts, because they are excellent batts. Powermaster and Odyssey batteries are superior in every aspect......there is no bandwagon stuff about it, the numbers and results dont lie.....

Mikesmith0890 Posted December 31, 2010 Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 For some odd reason the Group 31 batteries are stupid expensive. But in my experience, my yellow top has worked fine. Can be ran flat dead and charged and charge again, no matter how many times its been discharged. I truly love the fact that in the warranty period that no matter what happens to that battery, my local autozone will replace it. It's also nice getting a 20% discount on them AlphaDamp Sound Deadening CDL Mat - The best Vibration Damper Ever! I'd hit that so fucking hard whoever pulled me out would be King of England.
