From the Optima web page:
I made a statement that a red top has 50 deep cycles in it was not consistant with the current Optima product, the red top is no longer considered a deep cycle battery.
The yellow top can do 300 deep cycles (120 minutes at 25 amp draw)(there was also a line on the site that talked about the yellow top being a starting battery .. dark gray case for starting and a light gray case for deep cyclea little confusing)
Can I hook an OPTIMA up in parallel with my other battery?
No, when hooking batteries together in parallel they should be of identical make, model, and of similar age.

What is the difference between your deep cycle and starter battery?
The OPTIMA deep cycle battery utilizes a different chemistry for the active paste material on the plates, and a slightly stronger acid. This chemistry changes allows for a much longer life in cycling applications, with only a slight reduction in power.
