Got a question, i want to buy an Optima battery for my Hoe, I want to make sure i get the right one, I notice most people get the Yellow top, but is there really a big difference between Yellow, Red and the Blue tops?? I have a stock alternator, small system in my Hoe (less than a 1000 watts), foglights in the front, and foglights in the rear, I dont use the foglights much, but i do listen to my stereo...
Any input??

Just my .02 cents but I've had bad luck with optima I've had 2 go out under warranty and finally took my losses and invested in another battery IMO was worth the tow truck call for the 3rd time

interstate makes a good battery. But anything better than Optima. Had one in my 3000gt once and it internally shorted and melted from the inside out. What a mess it made.
