The red one seems to have more cranking power and cold cranking then the yellow one, but the yellow seems most popular on most supras i have seen. Anyone know the main difference and which one is better overall. Thankx!

The red one is designed primarily for cranking a car.

The yellow is more of a deep cycle discharge battery... and it does well in that capacity.

If you don't drive your Supra often, I'd venture to say that the Yellow top would be better for you on the principle that it can be completely discharged (dead) and the recharged more often than the red top.

I have the red top AND yellow top in my LandCruiser in parallel for winching (selectable) and the Yellow top fares MUCH better.

i wouldnt get either they suck i have to have my yellow top on a charger all the time or it looses charge and its a 1 year old there is a thread here somewhere that talks about how they suck.

I have the yellow top battery & my car has been under construction for the past 2-3 months and when i did a full charge, battery worked perfectly.

I have a full sound system, aftermakret fuel pump, twim electric fans, twin ignition, and lots of gaues, so would u some think at this point the yellow would be better for my applications?

i killed a yellow top ... good thing it was a "hey... try it out, and if you like it, I'll sell it to you" deal. It didn't last a week

 

[SupraGodTT]

ive got the yellow top and its worked good for me so far. but then again I do disconnect the cables when the car isnt driven for long periods of time ..

The blue one. It is made to charge and sit for a long time in boats. FWIW Optima's suck in supra's. I've been though 3.

My personal opinion...?? Go for the Odyssey...!

i like the Red Top personally but it died due to a power drain...made the mistake of tossing it when it could have most likely just needed a charge...faired pretty well

 

[Nick S.]

i work at a car audio and motorsport shop and we ONLY suggest yellow top!

 

[hxg94TT]

I guess your battery was bad, & thats why the car wouldn't start..
I use a walmart battery, & replace it every 24 months before the warranty runs out.

I agree - a VERY good battery!

 

[SUPRA180]

All you need is a regular good battery and a trickle charger , havent had a problem since , it was one of the best investments made since killing 3 batteries over the years

My brother had a red top in his 94 TT and the thing would crank over for about 10 seconds before starting, it was a brand new battery, we threw a stock battery out of a ford F150 in there last weekend that we had at my shop and it starts right up every time now lol. I think we just had a defective battery so we will be warrantying it.
