yellow top is deep cycle.

this dude is talking about red VS yellow

is this a step up or down from a yellow top? how much shipped to downstate IL?

Well I wouldnt really consider it a step up or down, its more of like they are for slightly different uses.
Red Tops are designed to be used as a starting battery, and Yellow Tops are designed as a deep cycle backup battery

exactly. but the red top is still a slow discharge gel cell and its great for audio applications. just not quite a backup battery like the yellow top.
