Which Battery?
I am looking for a new battery. I can't decide on the Optima Yellow Top or the Optima Red Top. All that i am running other than the basic components to run the jeep, is an aftermarket sound system and 2 offroad lights. I have no winch or inverter or anything like that. Just a 12" sub and 2 100w lights. Also i am not looking to do a dual set up. Which do you guys suggest?

Rumor has it that Optima isn't what they used to be. Seems Odyssey Batteries is where it is at these days. Also Sears batteries seemed to be raved about quiet a bit as well.

Ive had the yellow top for a few years now and hasn't failed me yet.
Im running it with a sound system and 2 hella 500 lights.
good luck!

if its between red or yellow top then the yellow is what I would go for. You might not need it now but in the future you might. If you have the money now I would get the yellow. I have a red top optima and it kicks the spit out of the battery I had before.
