BTW - who is trying to sell you an Optima for $220?  Even a yellowtop sells for under $175, Red tops are more like $150

I just shelled out $285 for a yellow top...  Of course, I bought it in Costa Rica, so that makes it cheap!  That's what I get for cheaping out and not buying it while I was in Miami!

The redtop is not a deep-cycle battery.  From what I've seen on the web, results vary greatly with the lifespan of most redtops.  The Deep-cycles seem to fair much better.  I went  with a bluetop for my jeep, it's a deepcycle/starting battery similar to the yellowtop with the addition of stainless threaded top posts along with the standard posts.

The older U800 or is it 800U's are better then the new ones.  The 800's are slightly bigger and have more of a 6-pack look to them then the newer square ones.
