Calling all Yellow-Tops...

[alz_2005]

Hi all,
Seeing as the cold weather is now officially here, and I've had a few err "low battery, non starter" mornings in the 4.5, I was just wondering which model Optima Yellow-Top some of you good people have bought?

Could you please tell me the model number and the place where you got it?
I have found this place, but not sure which of the 8 yellow tops fits the cerb!
www.barden-uk.com/optima-high-power-agm-batteries.html

I've seen how much they cost, so if you could also say how good they are, that'd be great

Much appreciated.

Cheers.

I was thinking just the same think - thanks for finding that site! I'm a bit confused now though as looking at it the Red or Blue would seem to be the ones to go for, but I've only ever seen yellow tops in other cars
There must be some one with one ??

Have you done a search using the forum search facility?

I have done some searching on the forums yeah, but not found anything conclusive with regards specific model number. However, I have bought one from barden now. A helpful chap there directed me at the YT-S4.2 YT 1000S.He said if it didnt fit, they would just change it, but was sure it would. Apparently the yellow-tops, are the best for all round performance. Lots of CCAs for those cold days! Lets face it, it cant be any worse than the standard batt. It did cost £150 which includes VAT and delivery... not bad considering I have seen some for 180 on ebay.

Will let you know what its like when its been fitted!!!

Cool thanks - I was just looking though all the archives again in case I missed something, you saved me the trouble

Still sounds like the blue top would be better from the description, but if you spoke to the guy in the know, I guess he'd know!

I wanted a yellow anyway as it matches the car

I'll be interested to see how you get on with it...
