Gold Member Username: SubfanaticWalton, Ky Post Number: 2696 Registered: Dec-04 | yellow top |
Gold Member Username: CarguyPost Number: 2454 Registered: Nov-04 | Yellow top is deepcycle battery, where as the other one is starter. |
Bronze Member Username: Loc_outPost Number: 83 Registered: Feb-05 | Damn and i have a blue one! |
Silver Member Username: TheelfkeeperStockbridge, GA USA Post Number: 350 Registered: Feb-05 | actually i've seen a lot of people at bass comps using the blue tops, i guess they have more reserve or something. idk how it'd work in a daily driver though |

Silver Member Username: TheelfkeeperStockbridge, GA USA Post Number: 357 Registered: Feb-05 | yeah, but apparently they work well in db drag comps |
New member Username: LotusPost Number: 3 Registered: Apr-05 | I though they used them because they're made for running without the engine running... like to power a trolling motor etc |

Gold Member Username: GlasswolfNorthWest, Michigan USA Post Number: 7691 Registered: Dec-03 | I hate the internet-impaired. try using a web browser and going to Optima's website. they explain EVERYTHING there. lazy people are such a waste of time. |

Silver Member Username: GoonPost Number: 117 Registered: Feb-05 | so would a yellowtop take replace the need for a HO alternator? or seperate issues? goon |
Silver Member Username: TheelfkeeperStockbridge, GA USA Post Number: 362 Registered: Feb-05 | no, getting a yellow top isn't gonna solve the problems a HO alternator will. |
Gold Member Username: GlasswolfNorthWest, Michigan USA Post Number: 7721 Registered: Dec-03 | different issue the yellow top helps when the engine is off the alternator is the sole source of current when the car is running |

Silver Member Username: Joe_cOakwood, Ga Post Number: 140 Registered: Mar-05 | hey glass if you hate ppl not looking stuff up then how come you love answering idiots questions so much?? 7730 posts |
Gold Member Username: GlasswolfNorthWest, Michigan USA Post Number: 7741 Registered: Dec-03 | if people would look the easy stuff up themselves, this forum would slow down enough that it'd be manageable. as it is now I skip 70% of the posts and only bother reading ones that pique my interest. the reason I answer so many posts is because nobody else seems capable most of the time. If someone answers a post roperly then I skip it |
Gold Member Username: SubfanaticWalton, Ky Post Number: 2900 Registered: Dec-04 | hey now glass, i usually know whats going on! even when i am stoned lol, and its your fault im in this mess haha, i remember my first post to you post number 1 on december 4th, i went back and read it, and embarrassed myself, god i was an idiot, thanks to people like yourself, jonathon, isaac, joe smoe, and james longo i have a very firm grasp on everything i know now, and i am very glad u took your time to help me and im sure everyone else u have helped along the way has felt the same way |
Bronze Member Username: Msully701Stratford, Connecticut US Post Number: 63 Registered: Apr-05 | yellow tops are dough for a battery, 130-190 bucks they range from at autozone.com never planned on spending that much... should I look into getting one after I get a HO alt instead of getting one now so I dont burn it out with my system? |
Gold Member Username: GlasswolfNorthWest, Michigan USA Post Number: 7743 Registered: Dec-03 | well, its not that nobody else knows anything.. just not that many people answer some of the trickier questions.. either they aren't around much, or don't have the time, or whatever.. quite a few around here know a lot. there's just so many new threads here every day it gets hard to keep up. |
Silver Member Username: Joe_cOakwood, Ga Post Number: 151 Registered: Mar-05 | agreed, but 7743 posts wow, dont think i've typed that many words in here |
