Optima Yellow Top
Im looking to get an Optima Yellow Top battery. If anyone has one for the IS300, I would like to know what kind you have? Im looking to buy a new one.
I went to Schucks and Pepboys to see how much. But when they looked up my car. It only listed a Red Top. If worst comes to worst, I will just pick up a Red Top

when i had the yellow top in my lightning. i took it out to swap it in my lexus.. well the yellow top dont fit.. the cables are like to short... so i had to keep the yellow top in the lightning i sold and had the stock battery in IS300.
well.. eventually one day, ill get an upgrade battery.. cause i dont have enough power pushing my amp and subs.

i have a yellow top in my is300, the harness is a lil short, but i just cut the tape that holds the wiring in place near the firewall. no issues at all. i have a slightly smaller battery too since our battery size is fairly uncommon in stores =/

i think it's a marketing ploy more than anything. i had a yellow top in my truck before and i got no more "key off" time than any other battery. the red top has higher cold crank rating anyway. it's great if you have like 3 in your trunk and have to lay them sideways or whatever, but other than that, i'd spend that extra $50 bux on something else.

Well, I could go with yellow or red top. Since my engine bay is going with the red/silver/black theme 
But, Im thinking of something with a High CCA's. Since I dont really want a battery that isnt chargeable, once its dead. And Optima's are not rechargeable.
Sears, here I come
