Default Optima Yellow Top

I want to get a yellow top battery but checking out the optima and autozone websites seems no yellow top fits the 2gs. I know this can't be accurate so I was wondering if I should just get what they have at the store anyways and it will fit? The local store has yellow top d34 and d34/78?

I agree, much better warranty program. And my Die Hard had a better standing voltage than any Optima's I owned through out the past.

I always used a yellow top in my cars since I always have a stereo system and viper alarm etc is the die hard good for the deep cycling also like the yellow top is?
