what's the going price for one of those and what stores can i get one from? - do i need the holder as well to fit it in a 99?

most importantly, what size fits for our cars? thanks...

LuckyVal3,

I think I got mine in for like 150 with all the wiring and such. I didnt put a harness in because it was unavailable, and because the thing will not flip over or get out of where its at. It's pretty nicely fit in there.

thanks, but what size battery though - i see the optima yellow top comes in D31, D34/78, and D51 - what's the difference and do all fit?

D34/78

Yeah what Yanks said. Only that one can fit in to the dimensions available.

Hi, anyone has any pics of the completion of yellow top optima?

by **indiglosolara** » Sat Jan 08, 2005 2:41 am

if you get the yellow top just get Model # D35 yellow top.. the post fit the stock wiring.. its just like the orange top D34R,

the D35 model is new to fit most jap cars.

the yellow top others was using is the D34. thats the reason why they had to redo the battery cables..

i ordered the orange top but returned it and when with a yellow top #d35 since it has more CCA.

jsut a FYI for those planning to get a yellow top.

you can order them from TNAsports.com or something like that. i gotta double check the site..

So in another word, D34 is an older model for our car & needed to re-wire. And D35 is a newer model which fits our stock wiring correct? And what's the market price on D35 ritenow?

exactly, Others have used the D34 in the past. The new model D35 just came out not too long ago,

I went and shoped around the local shops to see if they have the D35 and it will run from $135 to about $175.. depends on location and the shop. But like i mentioed above. Go to www.tna-sports.com and order it. i got the Orange top there and it cost me $135 shipped..

I got the yellow top for the same price since i returned the orange top.

But the yelllow top # D35 will fit without modifications
Orange top D34R will fit without modifications. The orange top is more rare. but the CCA isn't as high as the yellow top.

if theres a blue top that'll fit then get that instead.

Blue top has the same problem as the yellow, its reverse polarity for our application. Blue=Yellow except its for marine application

Orange/Red do have more CCA than Yellow/Blue, but Yellow/Blue are deep cycle whereas orange/red are "starting" batteries

Hey guys, I was plan to order the yellow top today. So I compared against with my stock battery.

Stock battery --- CCA 582 / RESV 125 min / Crk Amp N/A
Yellow top D35 --- CCA 650 / RESV 98 min / Crk Amp 810
Yellow top D34 --- CCA 750 / RESV 120 min / Crk Amp 870
Yellow top D34/78 --- CCA 750 / RESV 120 min / Crk Amp 870

I planned to get D35, but I saw again the RESV capacity is lower than our stock battery and plus CCA is only abit higher than our stock??? What should I do guys? :roll:

The yellow Top D35 is good Battery... When i installed the yellow top it was good but i felt that i needed more since my system draws alot more power.. For some reason the Red top D35 has more juice as far as CCA and crk amp...

if you go to www.tna-sports.com you can read the specs on both the red top and yellow top in group D35 model. The Red top has more juice and power as far as i can read. I talked to a Rep at TNA-Sports since thats where i ordered my battery and they let me return my Yellow top to them even tho i used it for a week and exhange for the red top.

I am in the process of waiting for my red top right now and ill see how that goes... the yellow top is a good battery but ill see how the red top holds out.. we'll see how it goes on monday since thats when ill get it..
