Optima Yellow Top, which model?

Did a search, but couldn't find reference to the specific model we need.

I am doing the big 3 upgrade, adding a cap, and want to also move to an Optima Yellow Top.

Does anyone know which model is best for the G37?


Thanks,

DN

We have a tiny battery is all I know. If you really want a yellow top you may have to consider mounting it in the trunk.

Thanks very much!

After you provided this information I did a quick check versus the Braille battery and have now decided to go that route. Looks like the two batteries have almost the same specs with the Braille showing much better weight reduction.

Yellow battery is NOT intended for use as your main (STARTING) battery. It will eventually warp and not work. I would get a REDTOP optima. This is from my experience.
