top.
RED TOP IS FOR STARTING.
High voltage, short duration “bursts” of power when cranking the motor
Put another way: Big-time cranking amps with only a little discharge because the motors starts and the alternator quickly takes over
YELLOW TOP IS DUAL PURPOSE.
Purpose #1: Starting, like the red top
Purpose #2: Continuous or long periods of high demand, high power usage
Put another way: Crank it, over power your alternator, drain it, then let your charging system catch up. Repeat. This up-down, repeated cycling is what yellow tops are made for.
That’s the basics, let me add some other general rules (here’s where the wrench throwing starts)
If you think you need more than one battery, get yellow tops
If you use a “battery tender” or external charging source to keep your ride ready to roll, you need a yellow top
There’s no reason to have two red tops
If you’re not sure which one you need, you can’t go wrong with yellow top
Mixing red tops and yellow tops is wrong! (unless they’re wired completely separately)
Finally, the most general rule:
If you’re running anything on your ride that needs power, especially when the engine is off, that wasn’t there when it was built, you need a yellow top. For example:
Air compressors for air bags, air horns or whatever
Stereos with big amps or multiple “Pimp My Ride” style 20 inch LCD monitors in the trunk
Winch or off-road lighting (or gasp, underbody neon like my PT Cruiser buddies)
Games systems, DVD players or some alarms
So was I right? Are you doing it wrong? I’m not the expert here, Optima is! If you disagree, I’ll take your comments directly to them.
