Optima Yellow top - Big 3 question
 

on my car i am using the top posts for all my connections but i would need new terminals to add wires for the big 3. could i add in the side posts too?!? would it all work okay by having both top and side posts?

Yeah that would work there man :D...

Yes it would work very well.

Put the car's cables to one set and your stereo to the other. Preferrably the stereo to the top, and the car to the side. There is more resistance out the side terminals of an Optima than there is out the top.

really?

any difference between the two top posts of a bluetop?

Whichever one is directly above one of the round cells, will have lower resistance than the ones that haev an internal extension... So if the studs are dead centre above the cell, they're lower resistance. And if the auto posts are the ones that are dead centre, they'll have the lowest resistance.

The side post'ers found on 34/78 DT and 35/75 DT Optimas have quite long internal extentions, over two inches each.

wow....Thanks Grizz, I learned something today so now I can stop trying and go back to bed :D

I have the exact thing done using my yellow top -- works well

awesome, i will get started on it then!! thanks
