All your Yellow Tops !! how many have you got and why !

Whats the advantage of one of these over a standard battery ? The specs dont seem that good. I know they are deep cycle but this is surley only an advantage as a second battery . Is this correct. What the advantage of yellow over red top ?

I supply Yellow Tops for customers lol, have used a few now in custom installs.

Yellow Tops are indeed Deep Cycle and so aimed at the ICE market, where large systems require a steady flow of good power over a long period of time.

Red Tops are heavy duty starting batteries and will deliver a large whack of power when you need it most i.e starting your car.

Yes alot of big ICE installs use Yellow Tops as secondary batteries running a split charge relay system, but it starts my car just fine and still has a good CCA rating. Depends on your needs, if you are planning loads of ICE/DVD/In Car PC then a Yellow Top is a good choice, if you just want a very good battery to start your car then go Red Top.
Incase you are wondering the Blue Top is virtually the same as the Yellow Top just designed for the marine uses market.

But the specs dont seem as good as a normal battery, so why are they so good ?

Are you comparing a standard say Halfords battery to a Red Top..?
