So ive previously used the Optima Red Top but now im about to switch from my stock Lexus battery to an Optima Yellow Top 34/78 since im running a 1000/1 amp (however that is measured at 14v). Ive been reading a bunch of bad reviews on the yellow tops...has optima gone down in quality?

Any other brands I should consider? Ive heard Stingers are not bad either. When I swap out the battery ill also be upgrading the ground cable to 0 gauge. I heard that doing the whole big 3 wont help unless you upgrad to a HO alt...any truth in that?

Thanks all!

i've heard awesome things about odyssey batteries -- to save some cash, diehard platinums are made by odyssey and have more or less the same specs as odyssey branded batteries

I bought the Stinger 1500D and I'm super happy with. It's deep cycle and has 825 Cold Cranking Amps with brass terminals and it fits perfect in stock location.

i was checkin those out, 100 more bucks than the yellow top...does anyone know which has a better warranty? most batteriest last arond 4 years but I heard about people having them die in 2. I know climate plays a role in it but I wouldnt think it would be so dramatic

i have a yellow top (bout a year into it) & it still works just fine. couple of friends recommended me to stick to the yellow tops since they claim to last long in their experiences (5+ years). im running both type S speakers & dual subs so not too sure if it would last long to power up stronger subs.
