I like the yellow. More cca than stock (although less than red--but only important when starting). Plus with the yellow, you can run accessories with the car off for a while without damaging the battery.

The yellow top is a deep cycle battery... it's more for running stereo's and accessories while the red top is a starter battery.... it holds a charge better and is pretty reliable.

If you're running a stereo... the yellow top is what you want.

There's places where I'm at that carry optima batteries if you want to come here and pick it up.

Your located in london right? If so, that's sorta far, but if that's my only choice I may go down there.

Anybody in the GTA area know where I can get one?

Thanks for the info guys.

cool, thanks for the info guys. My bro just picked up a battery from Kennedy Hifi in scarborough. I'll probably get one later on. Guess, I'll kill my stock battery first, b4 I get a new one.

Thanks guys.
