The yellow top NEVER lived up to its claims
The yellow top is not the blue top nor the red top
The yellow top was the costliest and made ridiculous claims about how cyclable it was. Sailors had me running in Mexico from sailboat to sailboat. The issue was about capacity loss after six months of ownership.
If you think even the best AGM battery has a capacity loss after sub-par charging minimum amperage and incomplete recharge.
The Optima is king of the world. By far.
A daily driver yellow top is like hiring Charles Atlas to haul groceries. It had BETTER last as long as your battery has. The world's champion failure was a Delco Voyager. Half of them on the Costo shelves already had RED eyes
David .... huuuuh? I'm wondering if I'm dense today regarding what you're saying?
My Group 31 12V Yellow Top Optima of the Gylling Group in Scandinavia, made in Aurora Colorado, 1100 CCA, 90 AH C/20, 192 minutes reserve capacity - that sailors or anyone else could no longer buy a few months after it's release - is lasting a LONG LONG time regardless of any claims.
Maybe I was an extreme early bird who got an extremely good worm?
