Question on batteries

[srt4100 10+ year member]

At first I didnt know much about audio. Now I have begun to do stuff the right way. Ok so on the battery, I have the regular battery that came with it. Im looking to upgrade it since shortly I will need to anyways. I am looking for 1 under the hood right now. For about 150 I can get a yellowtop. I went to a local audio shop and thats all they use. Does this sound good?

Yellow top will definitely get the job done but I would aim more towards XS Power, Kinetik, BatCap, Stinger, and batteries of the sort...But yellow top would be my choice after these and a few more on the list

Yellow tops are good for the front. I run one myself and they work great.

150 for a yellow top is a great deal. for that price you could get 2. ONe for the front and back if you're running that type of power. What are you running?

Whats the difference between red top and yellow top. Red top is cheaper and has more cca

red top = starting, lighting, and ignition

yellowtop = deep cycle

Red tops can't be drained over and over

The Deka is about 130 shipped. The Yellowtop 160 shipped. Any difference? Look the same

Its the Deka Intimidator size 34. The cca's on the 2 are the same. The yello top has 870 for ca's and the deka 860. Size is same. So any thoughts on that?
