yellow tops are good batts.

red tops are IMO, kinda worthless because you can get a standard lead acid filled battery from most places for MUCH cheaper.

i have another question. i was told they no longer sell the yellow top battery size for civics, is that true? cuz if so i need to modify my battery tray.

oh and i have a 93 civic hatch

Thats True They Were Losing Too Much Money So They Decided To Produce Just One Standard Size

I want that REAL SKINNY Yellow Top, I think it's a D57 or D59 ... Something like that...

I'm selling my Yellow Top for 150 shipped. I't Brand New, Fully Charged, I just tied it into my setup 4 days ago, just to see what my voltage would do. * Still connected though *

Yellows and Blues are good. I have a redtop, and I have NO problems with it, and its over 2 years old. I was told the reds lose charge fast, and when they do, they never hold a full charge like they are supposed to. Like I said, I never had anything happen with mine, yet.
