I chose the yellow top because I listen to my stereo a lot with the car off. My understanding is yellow for deep cycle (repeated discharging and charging) and red top for cranking power.

They recommend yellow for people with a lot of in-car electronics.

only get a yellow top if you play your radio or accessories often w/ the car off, when the car is running EVERY battery out there serves the same purpose
