Opitma yellow top. They are a dual purpose battery with both deep cycle and high cranking properties.

If you can fit it, get the D31A.

We used the optima yellow tops in this years OBC and i couldn't faullt them.

It was production class (full bodied GU wagon ie. HEAVY)so we had a 6hp motor on a standard highmount with an allbrite solenoid and we easily winched the sand wall as well as the mud stages without failure.

This thread is a tad old but what the heck.
Who is running optima yellow tops and what's your opinion of them ?
I'm about to buy a pair and I just want to know if it's a good move.

My old man ran one and reckons they're no better power wise.than a standard battery. I've been looking at another battery for a dual battery setup and you can get much.higher cranking and more ah for the.same money in agm style battery. For. Same price I can get a truck battery which apart from the.problem of size offers 1300cca and 200ah

The only reason to buy one in my opinion would be for the safety aspect in the event of a rollover.
