  • Our take on the Optima YellowTop D34/78

    The Optima YellowTop D34/78 is a dual-purpose AGM battery: it starts the engine and can run accessories with the engine off. Its spiral-cell design resists vibration and deep discharges better than a conventional flooded battery. With 750 cold cranking amps and 55 Ah, it suits trucks, SUVs and vehicles with winches, audio or other added electrical loads. It is a common upgrade over a standard starting battery, but it costs more and needs an AGM-compatible charger.
