My battery on my balt is dead, and I'm getting a new one tomorrow morning. I'm planning on getting an Optima, but I'd like to have an idea of what I'm talking about tomorrow when I get in there. I know there are some numbers on top. The only one I remember is for CCA (cold cranking amps) and its 600. I'd like to know more about these numbers and which battery to get. Also if I should get a yellow top or red top. I know red tops are more performance, but with the yellow top having a deep cycle, which I've heard is good. Any help is helpful

 

im buying a kenitik hd1400 which is a perfect fit for our cars, and is 100 times better than any optima, there found in the loudest car right now 181db, oh and there lighter

 

I used to use an Optima Red-top in my old Beretta... but if it ever dies, it's futsed...
Now I have a Yellow-top (which I've used for two years). I've even stored that old POS in -30C (which happens to be ~-30F) for 3 months..... and she still holds a charge like the day I parked it...

So my opinion is to go for the Yellow top....
Also, if you want to get into big stereo stuff, the Yellow top is absolutly wonderful!

 

thanks for the help so far. I think I should mention that I'm big into performance. I don't plan on having much other then the stock sound system. I'm about to start a turbo swap.

 

you have a pm tim

 

kenetik all the way... i have the 1800 in my car... runs my system for 5 hours no problems... cranks car right up!

spend the extra.
