Reply to "Optima Red or Yellow?"

Yes, I thought the same thing looking at the specs and their online recommendations.

But the electronics they refer to are those big time video games and giant audio systems in modern SUVs that dudes like to play while they sit parked at an event or at a friends.

Since my battery is disconnected whenever it's not running, I am better to go for the high starting and reserve power.

The yellow tops need to be cycled, run down and recharged for optimal performance. That would never happen the way I use mine. It stays fully charged al the time.

It would never have failed had I not forgotten to disconnect it and left it discharging for weeks. So after 7 long years of great reliable performance, I'll stick with what I know.
