I know this has probably been asked before or I'm sure I could find it in here somewhere if I looked... but anywayz!
whats is better a dry cell battery or a gel cell battery? I was looking at optima's the other day but is the yellow top better or the red? Read somewhere that the gell cell doesnt accept current change very good because it has more resistance by the gel cell? any opinions?

thanks

Best dry cell battery IMO is the Stinger 1700 (Hawker Odyysey 1700).. very nice battery! [img]graemlins/thumb.gif[/img]

Cool

if your going gel use the exide batt. it is exactly the same as the yellow top optima, and yes the yellow top is better.

actually the yellow top and red top are designed for 2 different things.. depending on what your looking for will determine which will be better for you [img]graemlins/thumb.gif[/img]
