There's another post on the forum about this. Yellow and green are deep-cycle batteries. Only get these if you run more than 2 amps with the car off. Red is the battery that is meant for normal use.

there's an Optima website that someone posted, i think it can help you with the size but they also said that you need the plastic container that it's stored on or else the battery is too short.

Glad to hear it helped..I got cheap and bought a 2nd battery (Everstart Maxx Marine) and put it in the trunk and wired them together to get rid of my dimming..its in a sealed box with a hydrogen vent to the outside since I've sealed my trunk pretty thoroughly
