Would you sell the blue top battery by itself...if so, how much?

[Essex29]

I'll sell the batteries seperately for $250.00.

If the boxes will fit the Yellow tops as well, I may be a buyer if Phebus it out.
Let me know, or let me know where to get the boxes..

Insman, I'll answer your question on this since I make those.. The particular boxes in that picture above will not fit a yellow top. They only fit D34 Blue Tops.
I do have some that will fit yellow / red & Blue Tops as well though if you like. They are a bit more then the standard blue top boxes though.
It's a similar design, but the top accomdates a little extra clearance for the changes on the yellow and red. And the "I - Beam" in the back allows clearance for use of the terminals on the side terminals as well.

Is the Yellow-Top the way to go for more power, amps, etc ???

Ya know I'm not 100% sure on that.. I would think if your going to go with optimas for stereo usage you'd want to use either a blue top or a yellow top though.

Hey RD
I looked on Optimas website and they recommended the yellow tops for high output stereo applications - so I put 2 yellow tops in my boat just for the stereo.
I think the blue tops were more designed for low amperage but long draws (like trolling motors).

[RiverDave]

Well there ya go. :) Learn something new everyday.. ;)
I currently have 2 blue tops in my boat, and after I pick up these 2, I'm just going to stick with 4 blue tops, until I switch out to Odysseys down the road.

I am going to have to go to the Optima website to check out the specs., but I was told the only difference between the yellow tops, and the deep cycle blue tops were the battery posts. There are two different blue tops, a starting model, and a dual purpose deep cycle.

Just wanted to give a update on the spam....
Batteries are sold.....I have 1 more battery box...pm me if you want it!
Thanks!

Phebus...you are correct on the diff between Yellow and blues...The difference that 69elim is talking about is between the dark and light grey casing...
I got this from a rep from Optima at the Silver State Classic Challange race a few years ago...If you can make the Yellows work, they're the better deal as they have a better warranty.
