Hell for 75 bucks you should buy it even if your battery isn't bad.

I'm having starting problems with my yellow top. Its not saying the battery is low; rather showing that its fully charged but really lags in cranking. Can sometimes take 3 or more times to crank >=(
wtfff???

Cold Cranking Amps aren't affected when the car is running it is for obviously cold starts when your oil is severely heavy (I'm from ND trust me it is -10F right now I know what I am talking about). So you can't judge the battery by that when considering stereo stuff.

geeze... you guys and thread ressurections...
and just to clarity, red top batteries are NOT deep cycle. Only the yellows and blue are.

hey with the ressurections, it makes it easier to search for things...
I wouldn't mind getting an optima, I'm probably not going to be running a system so i'd get the red top. I'm still running on an unkown battery, most likely a never start or something like that. I'll worry about the battery when I replace the H/U or vice versa

Yellow Top
I have 2 yellow tops in my car to control all the neons, audio, and video and i can leave my all my equipment on running stereo full blast for 6 hours and still be able to crank my car right up without hesitation, I have done it several times at different car shows. Yellow tops give you more power and allow you to run your equip. longer.

lol i highly doubt that you can play your system for 6 hours and it will start up after that, either your system sucks or your full of it. i have 2 stinger sp1000's with a 2.0 cap and if i leave my headlights on for 6 hours the battery is dead, stinger > yellowtop imo aswell.

a yellow top is like 700A... which means your headlights are pulling more then 100A/h? your wiring is jacked somewhere grim...

Optima Batteries
You know you talk a lot of crap for not knowing much, and if your headlights make your battery die, then obviously whoever wired your car has no clue what there doing, or you just have crap in your car like you have in your mouth.

yea because i dont have 10000k HIDS?
and btw when you have your headlights on its more then just your headlights on, gauges on, all of your brake lights, your signal lights, so its more then just HIDs pulling power, but you would have known that if your so great with wiring

even still... ~100A/h is a rediculous amount of energy. thats like running a small generator. there is NO WAY your headlights get anywhere near that. and don't even tell me your gauges/brake lights are getting close to that. thats b.s
brake lights are like what? 20w...each? interior lights maybe 20W....total?

Headlights are 55w each for the low beams, fogs are 27.5W each if i remember right. The tail lights and front signals are 8w for the low filament, 27W for the high filament. The sidemarkers, license plate light, etc.. are 3.78W each.

i'm not saying you were lying about your car being dead, i'm saying either your batteries aren't what they say they are, OR, you have some bad wiring somewhere that drained them quicker then they should have.
