Default Optima Yellow Top Battery

I want to buy a Optima Yellow Top for my XB but my friend odering says their smallest battery is bigger then my stock. I was just wanting to know how people tied down their batterys? The stock tie down obviously won't work. And I don't want to look ghetto. So anyone who can help pleeease. Let me know. Thanks for reading my post.

Why a yellow? They have a shorter warranty and less power and cost more money. I don't know mant people that are willing to pay more for less, unless you're me, and I wouldn't even get one. stick with a red. There are some tie downs available for those batteries but I cannot remember where I saw them.

My reason for wanting a yellow instead of a red was that i have electronics that i would like to run with the car off and the red top is like a normal battery when it comes to things like running 3 tvs and an xbox 360 that takes 160 watts to run it. i wasnt planning on doing it for long periods of time but i would definately like to start my car when i am done. which i hear the yellow has 2 hours of run time before i would remotely have to worry and that it charges back to normal easily after a nice electronics party. if anyone out their feels this isnt true please tell me why. i purchased the battery already and now i am looking for some solice in my purchase .

If you want solice, look at Freddy's xA in import tuner. It has the yellow top and has 2 15's and a huge plasma screen running in the back. They know what they're doing down at autofashion so go ahead and rejoice in your purchase, I plan on getting one soon myself.

you bought the right battery, back in the day when i was into stereos i ran 4 JL12's 4 sets of MBquarts sepeartes and 4 zapco Z1000's and 2 Z500's in my tahoe....(no tv's they werent out yet) I ran it all day at a car show no problems..........you got the right battery. In this case your not looking for value, o life, your looking for function and power......
