battery's beginning to give out, takes a few cranks to start up. where can i get a hold of a yellow top battery and any idea how muh for a venture?

 

I got mine from Cosco for 220 Tax in...
Ive owned 2 in the past 10 years... Great Battery.

 

ok thanks, i think my dad has a membership at costco so ill go by and check

 

so what are the different optima batt's.
yellow top is?
blue top is deep cycle correct? or maby the blue top was a walmart nock-off.
and whats the other ones?

 

ok let me ask this then, which one should i choose to run in the minivan, i dont plan on expanding mysetup anytime soon, maybe in 2 years

right now im running a 300rms xplod amp and 300 rms xplod sub, lights dim now and then, nothing big unless u push the system

will the yellow top be fine?

 

Yellow top is deep cycle

Red top is the starter battery

Blue top is the deep cycle marine battery.

I dont know what the current situation is with the yellow tops, but I just had to take one back to interstate and the 51R have been discontinued (not sure if the whole line was or just that size).

Anyways, with that gear any battery will do as long as your alternator is in good shape. If you're dimming you will want to look at doing the big3 wiring upgrade instead (please search, this has been covered hundreds of times). It will usually yeild better results than a new battery unless the battery is seriously old and dying. If its only dimming at full tilt you may also be driving your amps to clip, trying to get more out of them than they can put out cleanly.

 

Oh YA This batt. is big. Love mine.

 

What about the Kinetik HC1400 Power cell battery and the HC 600 100 farad caps. A few people I talk to said they are better than yellow tops. I can't say much about them because I never seen them or know how much they go for.

 

Just so you know costco doesnt have optima batts anymore
but sams club does
