I had a yellow top in my last car and never had a problem with it.
I looked in the phone book and found a local dealer for it for a good price. According to the optima web site, Interstate batteries looks to be a distributor, so you may find one locally. Some auto parts sotes, Sears, and costco carry them too.

no the point is the power. I am doing a big Audio/Video install this weekend. two massive amps in the trunk need a lot of juice. With a yellow top I won't need a CAP and it has major reserve power.
It is also a Deep Cycle battery, which means if it is completely drained (i.e. watching DVDs for 3 hours with the ignition off) it can be jumped and will fully recharge. (unlike non deep cycle bats).
The red tops have better cold cranking amps and craking amps (marginally) but they have less reserve power and they are not deep cycle.
Optima Yellow top is what I want, I can find them here for 180.
But it isn't all that urgent, cause the OEM battery can probably handle a lot of draw but it has crap reserve and I will kill it super fast if I ran with the ignition off.
Anyway, thanks for the input guys
