bought my 1000cc optima red top six years ago for my 1985 F250 mud truck, it cranked a 460 big block with eight K/C off road lights for two years. Then i sold the truck and it went into my 1979 ford bronco turning a modified 400M motor and four K/C lights. Then two years ago i sold the bronco and my trusty red top went into my 2004 F350, its still cranking away ever day in my F350 and i can crank my radio for hours when I'm out fishing or waxing my truck. GO OPTIMA

Optimas main benefit is the unlimited mounting positions and spill
Proof design.
We have 3 Vehicles with Optima batteries. Two red, one yellow.
I like these, especially since they are affordable at Sam's Club.

Yellow Tops...

I've been Running Twin Yellow tops since my Diesel came off the lot in 2006. Still putting out plenty of starting power. No issues whatsoever...
