Hello! I plan to buy a new Optima battery. So should I get the red or yellow for my 97 Max and why? Can anyone give me the part number also? Thanks!

 

Red ="basic" optima sealed cell battery, heavy duty, excellent upgrade from stock if you want a long lasting, powerful, and reliable battery
Yellow = heavy heavy duty, lots of deep cycles, generally used if you have a high power stereo system

 

Last year, I asked this very question. Most folks recommended the Red Top. Since I don't have a high end audio system in the car (bone stock SE with Bose), Red Top works just fine for me.

 

How much do they go for?

 

one good thing about the yellow top is if you ever leave anything on and your battery gets drained dead, the yellow top will charge back up over and over.

 

thats exactly what happened with my red top (left lights on)

 

Yellow top if you got a system in your car because it can handle the power usage better, if you dont go for the red

 

where to get one in good price??
i dont think that ebay would be a good place

 

Which Optima Red should I buy for my 97 Max? I see many different models and what are the difference? 25, 34, 34/78, 34R, 35, 75/25 ... Thanks!
