Battery dilemma need some advice

[e36m3_98 10+ year member]

I was wondering is the blue top optima battery pretty much the same thing as the yellow top? On the spec sheet on top of the battery, they both have the same specs on the cca rh and whatever else as well as they are both rated as starting and deep cycle so does that mean the batteries have the same amount of reserved capacity and power and all that? I bought a yellow top to put under my hood but the side gm mounts are a problem as they interfere and I would really prefer the posts that are on the blue top alot more. so should I swap it out for the blue top or would that be a bad idea. thanks

Put a diehard under the hood & transfer the yellowtop to the trunk.

They're essentially the same battery. The blue top just has more connections on top to connect more accessories.
