Question Yellowtop battery for heavy power load.

Abe (I think it was you),

You were talking about YellowTop batteries. Any idea where I can get these in Ottawa?

redtop retains a memory such as NiMH or NiCad. yeallow top is marine type that has a bigger charge and has no memory such as lithium ion. if interested i can get them brand new red for 75+shipping, or yellow for 100+shipping.
let me know

ok, these are optima batteries, they are one of the best on the market, u have a choice of yellow top, red top, and blue top.

the yellow top is deep cycle, meaning u will always have a steady hgh flow of current, which is what u need for bass and such

The red top is an excellent started battery, meaning even if u have a high load on your battery, it will still start your car perfectly everytime
http://www.optimabatteries.com/produ...rter/index.asp

The blue top is made for harsh conditions like marine equipment, u might consider bass shacking harsh for the batteries, but i dont think u need one of these
http://www.optimabatteries.com/produ...rine/index.asp



So i think the best thing for you to do it is to kee your stock battery, and add another yellow top, possible in the trunk, u can get kits for placing a battery in the trunk.

as for where, i am pretty sure canadian tire has them, but you could check parts source, and see what it wll cost ya.

Yellow top is great as a starting battery (better than stock), and even better if you have a system. I have one and it's great. Didn't like the yellow, so I just painted it black

You want the group 51 battery for our cars. It's the only one that's exactly the same size as stock.

group 51 yellow top is the name of the battery. If you look at the stock battery, it will say group 51 on it. That's just a size designation.
