Optima Batteries: Yellow Top VS Red Top

Optima yellow top and red top batteries have become an extremely popular choice with race cars, rally cars, hot rods, and off road vehicles. What makes the Optima so special? You'll find many detailed descriptions online, but the #1 advantage for us is safety. Because the Optima is essentially spill-proof and comes in a rugged housing, it can stand up to much more abuse than a standard off-the-shelf car battery. The red top and yellow top batteries are distinctly different, with the red top functioning as a direct-replacement starting battery for most applications and the yellow top featuring more of a deep-cycle design for applications with larger and more frequent current draws. Do you just want a better, more rugged battery for your car? Chances are the red top is for you. Are you running a lot of electronics, or using any accessories that draw a lot of current when the vehicle is on or off? That's where you'll benefit from the yellow top's deep-cycle capabilities.
