i have found that the optima red tops consume much less power to stay fully charged (when vehicle running) im not sure about yellow tops but i assume they are similiar... less consumed power leaves more power for stereo

I would also like to know if there is a real gain from going from a wal mart to a yellow top. I am leaning towards the walmart (this is for under the hood).

The Wal-mart (Yellow) batteries are real nice,when they first came out they were only like $62 a piece. [Cool]

Also a red top, price-$75 brand new.

Can't beat it.
