have a lexus gs400, looking to setup my audio system for the summer.
Any links on yellow top batteries?

dont buy the yellow,, buy the RED top optima SC34U (1000ca batt) yellows are problematic an require longer charging periods,, (10amp max charge input) the yellows are deep cycle you'd only need that if u plan on parking with the engine off for hours.. RED has quicker recharge rates and are just as strong (stronger because of the charging factor they can take up to 30+ amps of charge) the yellows..

Do you have any links for any good sales...

sorry no..sometimes there is only retail..but then at least you get the full warranty. check with your local interstate batteries wholesale outlet.. they will distribute to retail vendors they SHOULD sell to u at a lower price

I do NOT recommend a yellow top. I'm on my 3rd in 2 years for my MR2 due to faulty cells once they fully discharge (my MR2 is predominantly a garage queen and has a sight parasitic draw). The only reason why I keep getting them is due to the warranty. Otherwise, I will never buy another again.

@ VTsuckah look into a battery tender plus or jr.. they work great and are pretty cheap
