Definately Kinetic. Let that Optima drain one time and see what it's like when you try to recharge it. IMO....Optima sux for our purposes. I do have a Blue Top in my boat and that's fine but I'd never put a Yellow or Red Top in my car. Just my two cents.

I have a red top in my Pathfinder and I had one in my Maxima. Both have never cause any problems. I did have a friend with a yellow top that had issues dying on him. He is only one case out of all the optima's I have used and have sold in the past. Good Luck.

Do you think there is going to be some kind of difference with batteries (assuming they are near the same capacity) once you install them?

how can you tell what yellow top is it heres a pic of both batteries

That would be a group 34 optima.

It says right in the part # there.

so is it a good battery or the kinetic is better

the group 34 can handle more power as it is larger, the 800 is good for 800 watts.

in db drag there can be differences in batteries of over 1 db......take a wet cell group 31 vs an nsb 90 there probably be a bigger difference
