Stereo & Electronics - Which Optima battery?
Which Optima Battery fits in my car? Is it the 75/35 Redtop and does it fit with the stock batteryholder? Thanks...

Red is lighter and smalle then the yellow.
Yellow top has more capacity and is usually for stereo applications

yellow top all the way. if youre gonna put a red top in there, you might as well get a no name brand and save some bucks. the yellow top is deep cycle, so you can discharge and recharge over 500 times. it will fit, but min is touching the a/c line. its worth it, and it looks nice.

What do you base that on? Strictly performance wise a red-top will do what you need and not add considerable weight. The yellow-tops are nice, but overkill for some applications. Please explain.......

Straight from Optima
"red top under hood or as cars only battery"
" yellow as a car audio battery or 2nd battery"
" if there are two batterys use a isolator" so they both can charge the samebut be seperate"
"and trickle charge it when it sits for long times"
I have had over a dozen (no joke had them lined up in the living room) yellow top batterys, all died whent red no problems so far. This is my only battery.
I have bought a redtop... Thanks for the reply.

Good choice, I have one and it fits perfectly, runs amazingly. BTW whoever said it wasn't, the Red Top IS a deep cycle battery, too. Again, good choice.
