yellow also, best investment so far! lol, its good if your storing the car for a long period has a long shelf life. but also planning on changing it to a blue once its dead.
quick quesiton my buddy used to work at batteries plus and they had a pamphlet for optimas and it stated the uses for each color
red-high horsepower more demanding
yellow-high use of elctronics(systems)
blue-marine
is any of this correct
i was looking at my next car running a braille anythign wrong with them

They come in a whole bunch of sizes the Red/Blue/Yellow are just different versions in the same size cases.

i have 2 sets of fogs and a system a nice little audio setup.. 1 ten inch sub in my car.. with door speaker amps and sub amp.. what batteery would be recommended?
I killed 2 reds and a yellow before switching to a blue and haven't had a problem since. I think it needed a marine battery because the supra is such a boat.
I have a 1988 turbo with a full sony xplod system and two 12" mtx audio subs. I runa yellow top battery and haven't had a problem with it so far it powers everything in my car with no problems and no dimming the lights or anything and yes i do kno the red top is for power, the yellow top is for electrical, and the blue top i believe is actually a marine (boat) battery. but i am 100% sarisfied with my yellow top and if it dies i will definetly buy another.

Been running a PC680 here for prob 2-3 years now and put it through more hell then I ever expected it to live through. It was even jumped backwards once which killed it to 7 volts! Still as strong as it ever was.
Just don't let the car sit for more then a week or so if you have a thermostat only controlled electric fan (runs regardless of ign). It'll be pretty drained. I don't have... any ICE what-so-ever though, so that might make or break it.
Last I saw your car was... well, unique. LOL. How's it coming?
Yellow and you don't have to worry about cleaning the battery terminals. Now I just gotta get new battery cables.

lol, so true thats why i choose the yellow top :icon_bigg, I'm on my second car and I've only used one battery:aigo:
I have a Red Top. I've had ZERO problems! I love it, and my next car will inherit the battery, if possible. If not, I'll opt for a Blue Top since people seem to love them more than the others.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but arent braille batteries for racing purposes? Isn't it supposed to have just enough juice to start the car?

sig worthy???? lol
I'm using my brother's red top right now which he has been using for a few years but a pretty demanding system in his mx-6. Car got sold so I'm using it. Just today I left the lights on for about 3.5 hours (2 clicks, not the headlights) and I went it started up first turn, no strain. Even though I felt stupid about the mistake, I knew it wouldnt be a problem. Hasnt given either of us trouble, ever.
