Hey All,

I want to run dual Optima batteries. I have a guy that can give me a deal on the yellow tops. Can I run two of those in series? I heard that it isn't a great idea to run deep cycle batteries for some reason.

BTW, I have a 175 amp G3 (mustang) altenator. Thanks.

I have personally had bad experience with two optima batteries going dead really quick.. I know alot of people love them, maybe I just had bad luck with the two i had. Im now running a Champion trailBlazers and it kick ass!! :D just my opinion

Yellow are the "marine" type right? They don't "recover" as quick as the Red type but if you can get a "deal" on them jump on it. I run the red cause they have a faster recovery rate.....

the blue top is the marine, the yellow top is the deep cycle. And yes they kick a$$:D
