that looks sweet. i have a question, what about the marine one? can that be used in our cars? i just want a blue top, thats all

 

what size is that? it doesnt look like you had to stretch the cables at all...and how'd you switch the terminals. Please let me know. THanks

.. i think the blue one is for only jet skis and water stuff..the yellow top is the best battery if u have like bass and stuff...the red top is one lower than the yellow top..so my suggestion is the yellow top..

..the one i have was from my 97 tiburon...and trust me it's stretch out all the way HAHA...i had to yank that all the way..and further inspection..i did not change the terminal...sorry bout that..all i changed was the battery...try moving the battery back and forth until it reaches...

 

The red top is actually better overall. Yellow top is better for thumping stereo stuff.

If you don't think a yellow top can't be killed, think again. When I took it out of my RIP mirage and dropped into my 240. I didn't know at the time that my alternator was bad. Didn't take too long before it would't hold any charge.

 

maybe the red top is better...but from my experience the yellow top has nevered failed me...i left the lights on overnight and the morning i started no problem and i also drove with a messed up alternator for about 30 mins and it got me home ok....so i like maybe the red top IS better.......

 

By no means that I'm implying that a red top can't be killed also.

Yellow top is just better cycling charges like from thumping stereo w/ big amps.

I found out the hard way killing a yellow top. I recharged it on a dry cell charger (NAPA sells one) 6 times (at the time, didn't know the alternator was bad). After the 6th charge, the meter wouldn't move. To prevent another killing of optima, I pulled the alternator and check its rating . . . DOA.

Since I had the warranty paper for the yellow top, I upgraded to red top and bought a new alternator.

 

i know...it's all good....i mean aren't what forums are for?? u could be right...i could be right....so it's better that we get the right info..

 

can u paint the top blue? lol

and could i run some wire from the battery to my interior for neons and strobes etc.??

 

just a little add in here, your mitsubishi dealer can get the optima batterys for the lancers, if you want to pay out the butt for one haha, my dealer has them in stock, list price is like $120

 

120 is a really good price for an optima from what i've seen. lol young, thanks a lot for your help...I'm gonna try to go get one today.

 

That's good to know. I don't plan on running a big stereo, and red matches my car's color scheme anyway

 

its not a optima, but it has 950 cold cranking amps, and its half the size of stock battery. dont mind the rest of the mess

$120......DAMN!!!!i paid $189 for mines.....that's a good price for an optima....
