You guys all forgot the issue of warranty. I'm almost certain that when a Yellow Top is used as a starting battery you lose at least half the duration of the warranty, if not all.

Furthermore, he lives in Alberta. From what I hear it gets DAMN cold there in the winter. Red Tops have more cold cranking amps than Yellow Tops. It seems logical to me that he get a Red Top over a Yellow Top because it better suits his purposes. [img]graemlins/thumb.gif[/img]

^^ Buy a battery that has a model that is meant for your car. I would suggest a Motomaster Eliminator. It is a good battery with a good warranty for a fairly cheap price and it will suit your needs just fine.

If you get a model of battery that isn't intended for your car most warranties will be halved or voided altogether.
