Thanks

Well I got my Yellow top at Pepboys but now I have to replace the positive wire. :angry: The stock battery was leaking and when I tried to unscrew it the whole thing came out. :angry: It was a pain in the ass to take out the battery and its still a pain in the ass to take out the thing that poped out. :angry: I just gave up, I was going to replace the whole wire but pepboys told me that I have to bring them my wire so they can size it up. :angry: This sucks I quit my car is going to sit there all winter long.

:angry: :angry: :angry:

I think you should be able to go and buy just a 4gauge (someone correct me if im wrong) piece of wire from like circuit city (they sell wire by the foot) and crimp on the connecting terminals and you should be all set. i may have a few scrap pieces laying around my work if you want some let me know ill take a look.

does anyone know the difference between the batteries? Red, Yellow, and Blue tops?

 

[Mals27]

The red batteries are for cars who have minimal to no aftermarket parts. High output alternator or minimal stereo equipment this one is fine for. If the battery dies this one can come back more times than the yellow top.

The yellow top is for cars with heavier stereo equipment and provides better performance will they are discharging, keeping your stereo or computer equipment from slowing down or strain from power.

Blue ones I believe were for marine applications and RV's.

I seen a sign at pepboys stating that the blue top was for racing and something else, might go back and read more on it.

yeah blue are really deep cycle batteries, usually for marine applications.
John (ilquikgtx) has one, and I don't think he had any problems with it. Looked good in his car, cuz he does the blue/white thing.

 

[mybluegtp]

yea I heard that there was 2 types of blue tops, posted on clubgp and got full details.
