Ok Im looking into buying a new Optima Yellow battery. BUT I see that there is a bunch of diffrent model bumbers. I know I know There diffrent sizes and such. The thing is is that I see a few of the same size battery with diffrent numbers. The only diffrence I see is that the pos and neg are reversed. But I wanna know if one will be better for my car then the other. Im pushing a an alpine v12 for my highs and a 1000watt rockford for my JL W7. Diming lights own me right now even with the 1.5 farid car. Thanks guys!

 

thats alot of power taken away from the bayttery and workin the alrernator.. try a battery thats bigger than your cars battery, but can still fit. my autoshop teacher said running 1000 watt amps with a tiny civic tape player battery is like death to the alternator. or try running 2 small batteries, it will hold power longer and have less stress on the alternator... its your decision i guess.. would you spend a few bucks on a bigger battery or 2 batteries; with less headlight dimming, or would you want have less weight on the car and pay a couple of hundred bucks for a alternator in the long run. or you can try alrernators with better amps

 

This is the one I got;

Yellow Top; CCA: 500; BCI Group: 51R, 410 CCA

I'm not really sure if you want to get something different as my knowledge of batteries is extremely limited. This was the model Optima battery recommended for Civics.

 

I just installed the same Optima 51R yellow top battery.

 

i got the same one in a 2000 civic ek hatch. expensive but people tell me its the best out. :/

 

Yep. I got the yellow top. It was about 90-100 bucks but with my habit of leaving my lights on my battery hasn't died once since I got it. And I can leave my stereo playing for hours (2 is all I've tried so far) without fear of having to push start it.

 

I've been thinkin' about buying this battery for years :happysad:

Let me know where you buy it from Honura

 

I picked mine up at autozone it works great. Left my trunk open over nite once and my car started right up.

 

I went and got the 51R at pepboyz on 21st LIC. For $142 Worth every fecken penny. I was gonna get it on ebay for $128 but I figured for an extra $14 I have it now.

 

yeah, the artozone here had to order mine for me, but it came in two days. Of cousre I had to pay up front. :down:
But it was very worth it.
